What should I do if the bleeding lasts a long time after medication-induced abortion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I was divorced from my boyfriend after having a child, so I don't want this child anymore. I was thinking about taking medication for an abortion, but the more serious issue is what to do if there is prolonged bleeding after the medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

For medication-induced abortion, it must be performed within the period from the re-appearance of the gestational sac after conception to before the 49th day of pregnancy, and only under the premise that a normal intrauterine early pregnancy has been confirmed by ultrasound. The bleeding time for medication-induced abortion is generally 3 to 7 days. In your current situation, if the bleeding time is prolonged, you should go to the hospital for a careful ultrasound examination to check whether the gestational sac has already been expelled.
