Patient's question:
I went with my best friend to have a medication abortion yesterday. She experienced heavy bleeding in the operating room. I want to know why medication abortions can cause heavy bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, reoccurrence of severe bleeding after medication abortion is not common. It may be caused by incomplete medication abortion. For this issue, it is necessary to perform a uterine clearance as soon as possible and to promptly provide training on medication treatment. Otherwise, it may cause significant interference with a woman's future normal fertility, in addition to affecting her physical health. Although medication abortion is less harmful to women, it can be incomplete. If there is a large amount of residual medication abortion tissue, it may also have a negative impact on the body's complete recovery.
