Patient's question:
On the 27th, I went to the hospital for medication-induced abortion and passed the fetal sac. By the 6th of this month, the bleeding had stopped, but on the 10th, I had sex. On the 11th, I took emergency contraception, and on the 13th, I had heavy bleeding. Is it because of the emergency contraception, or is it my period? The kind of assistance I need: Right now, is it the healing of the medication-induced abortion or my period??Doctor's answer:
This is likely due to medication. However, it cannot be guaranteed to be the effect of the drug. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to examine your uterus and have an ultrasound to check the condition of the uterine cavity. If there is nothing wrong, you can wait and see for a few days. Your condition requires the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited within half a month after medication abortion. The current skin peeling may be due to withdrawal bleeding caused by taking birth control pills, which will interfere with the complete recovery of your uterus. If the bleeding is heavy, please go to the hospital for a thorough examination.
