How long does it take for vaginal bleeding to stop after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I have been on medication for days, and it's already the 19th day. I've been bleeding from my vagina without stopping. How long does it take for the vagina to stop bleeding after medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Medication-induced abortion usually stops vaginal bleeding about one to ten days after the procedure. If the bleeding lasts less than ten days, in addition to vaginal bleeding, it should be considered as residual bleeding in the uterine cavity caused by incomplete medication abortion. Therefore, an ultrasound examination should be conducted to check for any residual tissue and the recovery of the uterus. The specific treatment plan will depend on the results of the examination. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
