How many days of bleeding after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I took the last three pills on the 28th, and after not long, I started bleeding. The stomach pain was excruciating, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said they gave me medication to remove the remnants inside the uterus, but several days have passed, and my stomach still hurts. What could be the reason? Is this normal? The kind of assistance I need: I just want to ask, how long will it take for my stomach to stop hurting?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, after a medication abortion, it takes about a week for everything to be expelled. Yours hasn't been completely cleared yet, which poses significant risks. If a medication abortion isn't complete, you usually need to go to the hospital for a D&C procedure. Was your medication abortion done at a legitimate hospital? Small clinics are unreliable. Expert advice: Seek treatment at a reputable hospital to avoid adverse consequences. Considering there may be residual tissue in the uterus, and the possibility of pelvic inflammation, it's recommended to have a thorough examination and diagnosis at the hospital. If necessary, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Rest is important, and sexual activity must be strictly avoided for the first month.
