What is the situation when there is always blood after taking medication for an abortion?

Patient's question:

Before having sex with my girlfriend, she got pregnant, but we didn't know which time it was. We were still studying, so we couldn't get pregnant or have a child. We had to abort the baby. However, we are just students and don't have much money, so we had to have a medication abortion. After my wife had the medication abortion, she has been bleeding. What is going on? Urgent!

Doctor's answer:

After medication-induced abortion, the vaginal bleeding usually does not exceed 1 to 2 weeks. If the bleeding has not stopped after two weeks, it is necessary to consider the possibility of residual tissue in the uterine cavity. In this case, it is important to visit the hospital early for a follow-up ultrasound to determine if there is a possibility of residual tissue. Additionally, during the medication-induced abortion period, vaginal bleeding may occur again. If there is heavy bleeding at any time, there may be a possibility of undergoing a D&C procedure.
