How many days of bleeding does medication abortion cause?

Patient's question:

I accidentally got pregnant, and I want to have a medication abortion. So, I would like to ask you how many days of bleeding does a medication abortion usually last?

Doctor's answer:

I am happy to help you solve your problem. If you are unexpectedly pregnant and plan to have a medication abortion, it is important to control the timing. It is best to complete it within 49 days after pregnancy, which can effectively reduce the risk of residual risks and allow for a quicker recovery. During a medication abortion, vaginal bleeding may occur again. This bleeding usually lasts for 5 to 7 days. If there is no bleeding after 7 days, and if it increases, you should definitely have an MRI to check for any issues, as there may be a risk of residual tissue in the uterine cavity.
