How many days of medication are needed for medication abortion?

Patient's question:

My daughter is pregnant, and she is still in school, so she cannot have the child. If she chooses medication abortion, it requires taking medicine for several days.

Doctor's answer:

Medication-induced abortion requires taking oral medication for three days. Generally, abdominal pain and bleeding will reappear after taking the medication on the third day, and the gestational sac will be expelled. Carefully observe whether the gestational sac is expelled smoothly. After the abortion, it is essential to rest more and avoid exposure to cold. Do not eat extremely cold or hard foods. Avoid sexual intercourse for one month. Carefully monitor the bleeding. Usually, bleeding after an abortion lasts for about a week. If the bleeding persists for an extended period, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
