Is medication abortion as simple as bleeding for a few days?

Patient's question:

Pregnant, don't want it, want to do medication abortion, will it hurt, is it like a normal period where it's just a few days of bleeding and that simple?

Doctor's answer:

Medication abortion is suitable for patients who are pregnant within 49 days. Before taking the medication, a B must be performed to confirm that the gestational sac has reached the uterine cavity. Medication abortion may result in incomplete abortion, leading to uterine residue, causing continuous bleeding or heavy bleeding. Therefore, routine follow-up B is necessary after medication abortion to check if it has been completely cleared.
During the process of medication abortion, there is a certain level of pain, which may manifest as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. These symptoms are different from normal menstrual periods.
