How long does the bleeding stop after a medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I had a medication-induced abortion. I started taking the medication on August 22nd of this month, and by September 4th, a detailed ultrasound examination showed that everything was fine, except for some fluid accumulation in the uterine cavity. However, until today, besides blood, I wanted to ask you what might be happening. The kind of help I need: I would like to ask an expert to demonstrate.

Doctor's answer:

General medication-induced abortion can result in prolonged bleeding, with some individuals experiencing spotting for up to 40 days, which is considered normal as it varies from person to person. However, it should not exceed 40 days. It is possible that the prolonged bleeding is due to inflammation in the endometrium. If you experience lower abdominal pain, you can consult a doctor for oral antibiotics. You can carefully monitor the situation, and if pelvic inflammation is suspected, oral anti-inflammatory medication may be considered. Lastly, in daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, as a good mood is very helpful for recovery from the illness.
