Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I am 21 years old this year. Recently, I played quite wildly with my boyfriend and accidentally got pregnant. His family runs a pharmacy, and they told me to just do medication abortion. Hello, how long does the vagina usually stop bleeding after medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Medication-induced abortion generally involves prolonged bleeding, which can last up to eight days to two weeks. After medication abortion, it is important to promptly undergo an ultrasound examination at a local hospital to rule out residual tissue in the uterine cavity. If no residual tissue is found, the patient can follow the guidance of a local doctor to use medication for symptomatic treatment, which can help reduce the risk of incomplete abortion. If after two weeks of medication abortion, there is still bleeding and no residual tissue in the uterine cavity, uterine contractions may be necessary, or a procedure such as Dilation and Curettage (D&C) with medication may be performed if needed.
