How long does the bleeding last during a medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I was young and inexperienced, and I got pregnant. However, my boyfriend and I were still very young and didn't have the ability to work, so we couldn't afford to raise a child alone. After discussing it, we went to the hospital to have a medication abortion. It has been three days since the abortion, and I am still bleeding. How long does the bleeding usually last after a medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

I am already pregnant and undergoing medication-induced abortion. It has been three days since I started bleeding, and besides the broken skin, this condition usually lasts for about a week. It is recommended to take Yimucao oral solution and anti-inflammatory medication, apply cold compresses to the abdomen, pay attention to preventing colds, avoid getting chilled, drink some brown sugar water, and have a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital after one week to check for any remaining tissue. Avoid sexual activity for the next month. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
