Bleeding and pain in the lower abdomen after a spontaneous miscarriage is worrisome?

Ask ‌‌‌ ‌
Hello doctor, I went for an ultrasound and the doctor diagnosed me with 5 weeks pregnant (negative empty sac in the uterus). Now I have massive bleeding with 2 big blood clots (spontaneous). I went back to the doctor and told me that I could no longer see a gestational sac in my uterus. Right now I am still bleeding and have pain in my lower abdomen. Can I ask the doctor if the bleeding and pain in the lower abdomen after a natural miscarriage are worrisome? Do you have to take any medicine to quickly stop bleeding after a miscarriage? The hospital did not allow me to take medicine home for me to take. Thank you doctor.

Hello,
I don't know what your current bleeding status is? Usually there will be bleeding and pain in the lower abdomen after a miscarriage. But the bleeding is getting less and less, the amount of bleeding is close to the level of your period and will usually stop after about 7-10 days. If your bleeding after miscarriage lasts for more than 10 days or has a lot of bleeding, you should go back to your doctor, the doctor will do more exploratory tests and give you specific advice.
If you need more detailed advice, you can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide to get answers from a specialist doctor. Thank you for trusting me to send questions to Vinmec.
