Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Pain and bleeding can last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks after miscarriage. Gradually it should come down in therms of frequency and severity.
However, it would be better to get an ultrasound abdomen done to know weather the products of conception has been fully expelled or not.
This is because, retention of small amount could cause complications such as infections and continuous bleeding.
Kindly consult Gynecologist with the report for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
