Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:"Disturbing the doctor, I have a friend who is already 26 years old. She is pregnant, but she doesn't want the child, so she used medication for an abortion. I want to ask, after taking the medication for an abortion, she has been bleeding for 15 days. What is the matter? What should we do now? I am so worried about her."
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is normal to have bleeding about a week after medication abortion. If it has been 15 days since the miscarriage and there has been continuous bleeding, this is not normal. First, consider that the medication abortion may not have been complete. It could also be due to poor uterine recovery after the procedure or an infection. The current action is to promptly go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound. If the ultrasound carefully examines and indicates the presence of intrauterine remnants, it may be necessary to consider a D&C procedure.
