Patient's question:
I got pregnant unexpectedly, but I'm not married yet. I don't want to have this child. How long does the bleeding last after taking medication for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
If you decide to have medication-induced abortion, the commonly used drugs are mifepristone and misoprostol. Usually, taking mifepristone orally does not cause any symptoms. After taking misoprostol, abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding may reappear. It is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment to avoid the risk of uterine atony leading to heavy bleeding. Under normal circumstances, vaginal bleeding after medication-induced abortion does not exceed two weeks. If the bleeding lasts for less than two weeks, a follow-up ultrasound is required.
