What should be noted after taking medication for abortion and experiencing menstruation?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I'm still young, and my training is not stable yet, but I got pregnant unexpectedly. It has been about a month since I had medication abortion, and my menstrual period is about to come. So, I want to understand clearly here what precautions are needed after medication abortion for menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

After medication-induced abortion, menstruation may return to an irregular pattern. It is not necessary to worry too much, as it usually becomes regular after two or three months.
The first menstrual period after medication-induced abortion may have a heavier flow and last longer. It is recommended to rest, avoid catching a cold, and maintain local hygiene to prevent infection. If the menstrual period lasts particularly long, further medical examination with an ultrasound may be necessary.
