How to best handle minimal bleeding after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, when I had sex with my boyfriend, I forgot to use protection. As a result, I got pregnant, but I didn't want this child. So, I went to the hospital for medication abortion. However, I noticed that there was very little peeling in my legs after the medication abortion. I'm worried that it wasn't completely cleaned out. What should I do after medication abortion with very little peeling?

Doctor's answer:

For women who have undergone medication abortion, there can be vaginal bleeding for 3 to 7 days, with the longest duration not exceeding ten days. Some women may experience less vaginal bleeding and may need to undergo an abdominal MRI to check for any residual tissue inside the uterine cavity. If there is no residual tissue inside the uterine cavity, there is no need to worry too much. Medication abortion does have certain risks for women's health, so it is important to ensure sufficient rest after the procedure.
