Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant a while ago. I'm currently a sophomore in college. Later, I bought medication from a hospital to have a medication abortion at home. It's been 10 days since the medication abortion, and suddenly I feel like I'm experiencing heavy bleeding—so much that I need to change a pad every few minutes. I want to ask if this medication abortion might not have been completely effective.Doctor's answer:
This is likely due to incomplete medication-induced abortion. The bleeding will never be less than the amount of a menstrual period, and it usually stops bleeding and peeling again within about a week of the medication abortion. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to diagnose whether there are residual embryonic tissues in the uterus and to avoid adverse effects on the body. At the same time, you can take some Yimucao granules, brown sugar water, etc., which can help promote blood circulation and resolve blood stasis.
