Is it normal to have a small amount of bleeding off and on after an abortion?

If the small amount of intermittent bleeding after abortion does not exceed 1 week, it is generally normal; however, if the bleeding exceeds 1 week, we need to be vigilant against intrauterine residuals, uterine infection and other pathologies, and such is not normal.
1. Normal: if a small amount of bleeding after abortion does not exceed 1 week off and on, and there is no discomfort, it is considered to be a small amount of residual tissue in the uterine cavity and blood stasis caused by the discharge, or seen in the endometrial recovery bleeding.
2. Abnormal: If the bleeding lasts for a long time, is dark purple in color, or is accompanied by pain in the abdomen, it is considered that the abortion is not cleaned up, and part of the embryonic tissue and fetal membranes remain in the uterine cavity, and it may also be caused by the invasion of various pathogens into the uterine cavity, which causes inflammation in the uterine cavity.
But do not rule out other factors, if the bleeding after abortion more than 1 week, you need to consult the doctor in a timely manner, improve the relevant examination, by the doctor to clarify the cause, give targeted treatment.
