Is it normal to bleed after taking medication for more than half a month?

Patient's question:

I've been on medication for over half a month, and sometimes there's still a little blood. What's going on and what kind of assistance do you need: I want to ask if this is normal?

Doctor's answer:

After taking medication for an abortion, if the bleeding lasts less than two weeks, it may indicate incomplete miscarriage or poor uterine recovery. It is recommended to have a thorough ultrasound examination at the hospital.
After medication-induced abortion, the time it takes for vaginal bleeding to stop is usually around 7-10 days. If, after half a month, the bleeding has not stopped, it may be due to poor uterine recovery or incomplete abortion, leading to residual tissue causing prolonged bleeding. This is an abnormal condition.
In this case, it is necessary to urgently visit a gynecological department for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to assess the uterine contraction and recovery, as well as to check for any residual tissue inside the uterus. Based on the examination results, appropriate medication and treatment should be administered.
