What are the symptoms of induced abortion?

Patient's question:

I had a medication abortion and a surgical abortion. A week after going home, everything was clean. However, on the 23rd, I experienced skin peeling, similar to symptoms of menstruation. Previously, when I had my period, I also had leg cramps, and now I have the same symptoms. What are the symptoms of induced abortion?

Doctor's answer:

I had a medication abortion combined with a surgical abortion at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital on December 11th. A week after going home, it was all clean. However, by the 23rd, I had broken skin on my body, similar to symptoms of menstruation. Previously, when I had my period, it was always accompanied by leg cramps, and that's the same symptom I'm experiencing now. The color is also the same as during menstruation. I don't know if this is actually menstruation—it shouldn't be. It could be due to uterine contractions. Were you lying in bed a lot at home after the surgery, which might have caused blood to not be expelled properly?
In addition, during the treatment for gynecological conditions, besides medication, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet.
