Patient's question:
My baby is just six months old, and I didn't use any contraception. Unexpectedly, I got pregnant again so soon. I had to have a small abortion surgery because the pregnancy was still early. Today, a friend came to visit and asked me how I was feeling after the surgery? How much bleeding did I have? Hello doctor, is it normal to have less bleeding after medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
It's normal to have less bleeding after medication abortion. Generally, the bleeding after medication abortion does not exceed one week. If it is less than one week and the bleeding amount is greater than your usual menstrual flow, it is abnormal and may indicate retained products of conception. You should go to the gynecology department for a thorough examination immediately, undergo a color Doppler ultrasound to check for retained products of conception. If there are any, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) may be necessary. So you don't need to worry at the moment. Monitor the bleeding amount carefully. You should not have sexual activity for at least one month. After fully recovering, it is essential to use contraception.
