What should I do if the bleeding time is long after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

The medication abortion bleeding lasted for 15 days, with very little blood but it kept going. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the doctor said the uterus was already normal. What assistance I need: I want to ask, is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, after medication abortion, the hormone levels in the body have not fully returned to normal. Some people may experience irregular menstrual cycles after medication abortion, such as prolonged periods, varying cycle lengths, or excessive or insufficient menstrual flow. This condition usually normalizes within 2-3 months after the abortion, but some individuals may experience a longer duration. It is recommended to closely monitor any changes and seek medical attention promptly from a formal hospital gynecology department for a thorough examination if any abnormal symptoms occur.
