Patient's question:
Due to my own carelessness, I became pregnant. I took medication to have a miscarriage, and it has been 20 days since then. However, I have started bleeding again, and the amount of blood is not small. What should I do if I experience bleeding 20 days after medication-induced miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
After taking medication for an abortion, there was a break in the vaginal lining 20 days later. There are two possibilities: one is that the medication abortion may not have been completely effective, leaving some residual tissue in the uterus. Under the influence of external factors, this residual tissue could cause the break. The other possibility is that the menstrual cycle has fully recovered. Therefore, it is generally recommended to have a follow-up check at the hospital one week after a medication abortion to assess the condition of the uterus.
