What happens if there is no blood after medication abortion and then it appears again?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I had a medication abortion a few weeks ago, and my bleeding almost stopped. It's quite strange, I don't know why it happened. After a week, it started again, and my body didn't feel any discomfort. So I wanted to ask you, after the medication abortion, why did my bleeding stop for a week and then start again after another week? What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

If there is repeated peeling again about a week after the medication abortion, this situation is likely due to residual tissue remaining in the uterus. Medication abortion does not always ensure complete clearance, and the uterus generally has some residual tissue to some extent. In this case, since you have undergone medication abortion and it has been a week, you should go to the hospital for a careful ultrasound examination to check the size of the residual tissue in the uterus.
