What is the reason for continuous bleeding after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

At one month pregnant, I took medication to have an abortion, but after one month of medication, I still have ongoing bleeding. What could be the reason for continuous bleeding after a month of medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Medication abortion is a commonly used clinical method in obstetrics and gynecology to terminate early pregnancy. It is simple to use and highly effective, but it can sometimes lead to intrauterine residual, resulting in miscarriage. If, after one month of medication abortion, there is only bleeding from the vagina, it should be considered as a result of residual tissue in the uterine cavity after the procedure. It is important to promptly visit a formal hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department for ultrasound and other examinations to confirm the diagnosis. The specialist doctor will then perform a curettage surgery based on the actual condition.
