What is the reason for the sudden increase in flow on the 10th day after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

On the 10th day after medication abortion, the flow suddenly increased but did not drop below the highest level of menstruation. Now, on the 13th day, there are still occasional small blood clots. There is a dull abdominal pain similar to menstrual cramps. About six days after medication abortion, I took super energy for a period of time, and there was bleeding during that time, with more abdominal pain than usual. I don't know if it's related to this?

Doctor's answer:

You are very happy to help you solve the problem according to what you described. If you have had a medication abortion and there is still bleeding 13 days later, you need to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up to see if there is any residual tissue in the uterine cavity. If the examination shows no residual tissue in the uterine cavity, you can now receive symptomatic treatment, such as taking oral medication to help the uterus contract and applying topical medication. Since the bleeding time is relatively long, you also need to coordinate with anti-inflammatory medication to prevent infection. So, the first step in your current situation is to have a B-ultrasound check to see if there is any residual tissue in the uterine cavity.
