What is the reason for prolonged menstruation after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I feel particularly uncomfortable, and this situation has been going on for a long time. Could you please explain why the menstrual period lasts a long time after medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally speaking, menstruation should return about one month after a medication-induced abortion procedure. How many days is your usual menstrual period, and how long has your current menstrual period been lasting? After a medication-induced abortion, an ultrasound examination can be performed. If it has been more than a week to over 10 days, an ultrasound should be conducted to check the recovery of the uterus and identify the cause for targeted treatment. Miscarriage may lead to menstrual irregularities.
