Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood the concern. After an abortion, rest is usually advised for two weeks. This is to help revitalize the tissues and also give time for the uterus to involute. Even with an early week abortion, this has to be followed. Since you have done strenuous exercise, you started bleeding again. Please report to your consultant and follow the advise as to the appropriate time to return back to your normal activity. You would need styptics to arrest the bleeding. Please take a healthy diet and rest adequately. Take care.
