Patient's question:
I am already a mother of two children. A few days ago, I found out that I was unexpectedly pregnant. I took medication for an abortion, but soon after, I started experiencing abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding. Even now, I still have some blood, which has been going on for about five or six days. I want to ask how long the menstrual period usually lasts after taking medication for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after medication abortion, the gestational sac is expelled outside the body, and the embryonic tissue inside the uterus will gradually be expelled with blood. Generally, it takes about a week to have a normal recovery. After medication abortion, it is necessary to have a detailed ultrasound examination at the hospital to check the condition inside the uterus. If there is a complete miscarriage or blood clots in the uterus, the failure rate of medication abortion is very high, and it must be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.
