What should I do if my menstrual period lasts a long time after taking medication for an abortion?

Patient's question:

It's unfortunate that I accidentally got pregnant. I'm afraid of pain and want to take medicine, but my husband says that medication abortion can leave residual effects on the body and suggests I have an induced abortion. Is medication abortion safer or induced abortion safer? Hello, does the menstrual period last long after medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

You are skilled in medication-induced abortion for pregnant women with menstrual cessation within 49 days. If it is less than this period, the gestational sac is too difficult to miscarriage. It is recommended to go to a local hospital with a grade A or higher level for examination. Before undergoing medication-induced abortion, we recommend performing an ultrasound examination to confirm an intrauterine early pregnancy and whether the duration of pregnancy aligns with the timing of medication-induced abortion. It is also necessary to rule out the recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. If medication-induced abortion is to be used, it should be done in a regular medical institution with the ability to perform uterine aspiration.
