Patient's question:
It's not that women can only have medication-induced abortions when they are young and not when they are older. I ask, is it normal to have very little bleeding after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Bleeding after an abortion is a normal phenomenon. Generally, how and how much bleeding occurs after an abortion varies from person to person. Some women may not bleed at all after an abortion, while others may experience only a small amount of bleeding. A small number of women may bleed significantly after an abortion. Under normal circumstances, bleeding after an abortion is less than the usual menstrual flow and does not exceed two weeks. After a painless abortion, the bleeding period usually lasts for 7-14 days, but there may be cases where it starts earlier or later. If bleeding after an abortion lasts longer or is more abundant, or if symptoms such as abdominal pain reappear, it is necessary to come to the hospital for follow-up to confirm the diagnosis and take appropriate measures.
