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. My bleeding almost stopped, which was strange. I don't know why it happened. After a week, I had bleeding again, and my body didn't feel uncomfortable. So I wanted to ask you, after the medication abortion, why did I have no bleeding for a week and then have it again after another week? What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

If there is repeated bleeding again about a week after taking medication for an abortion, this is likely due to residual tissue remaining in the uterus. Medication-induced abortion does not always ensure complete clearance, and the uterus generally has some residual tissue to varying degrees. In this case, since you have undergone a medication-induced 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.
