When does the bleeding from medication abortion normally stop?

Patient's question:

When does the bleeding from medication abortion normally stop?

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, vaginal bleeding after medication abortion will last for about one to ten days, and it will not exceed two weeks. Therefore, if vaginal bleeding persists for more than two weeks after medication abortion, it may raise doubts about the possibility of recurrent uterine residue or poor uterine contraction after miscarriage, and it will be necessary to visit a hospital for a detailed ultrasound examination. If there is residue in the uterine cavity but it is not large, it can be considered to persist with oral medication for a few days to promote blood circulation and remove blood clots. If the amount of residue is significant, a D&C procedure may have to be considered.
