Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely expelled, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and vaginal bleeding lasts longer, which can last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months.

Impact on fertility: It can cause repeated damage to the endometrium. Due to damage to the endometrium, women are more likely to develop placenta previa when they become pregnant in the future, which can cause heavy bleeding before delivery.
