Hello dear
Understand your concern
As per your questions you did abortion by surgical process. Chance of bleeding after surgical abortion is very less as all the product is evacuated by procedure. But some time product may remain inside if it is done by unexperienced health care provider under septic condition. So it think you have bleeding is due to retain product of conception, vaginal/pelvic infections, trauma to genital tract. Retain product is confirmed by USG scan, if it is there should be removed by misoprostol or D & C. Infections is treated by antibiotics and by maintaing pelvic hygiene
Hope this may help you
Best regards
