1. Incomplete abortion: The key cause of bleeding after medical abortion can generally be identified through gynecological examination and B-ultrasound.

2. Infection from medical abortion: If the B-ultrasound shows that there is no residue in the uterus, then the infection in the uterus should be considered, because the blood from miscarriage is a very good culture medium for bacteria. If it is serious, the uterus will feel tender and painful during gynecological examination, and there will be fever, etc.

3. Poor blood coagulation: Some people are prone to bruises or bulges after slight bumps or clamps. This may be because the person's blood coagulation function is not good. During medical abortion or surgical abortion, there may be internal bleeding or prolonged bleeding.

So, how long does bleeding after miscarriage last is considered normal? As for how long the bleeding after abortion is considered normal, under normal circumstances, there is about seven to fourteen days of bleeding after abortion, but the bleeding will not exceed the normal menstrual period.

5. Abortion: Generally, bleeding will stop in a few days after the abortion, and will not exceed two weeks at most. Painless abortion with less trauma may even stop bleeding on the same day at night. Bleeding after an abortion should not be heavier than normal menstrual flow. If bleeding lasts for more than a week after painless abortion, it may be due to lack of adequate rest, so the uterus cannot repair well. This condition is called uterine contraction. It may also be repeated bleeding caused by inflammation.
