How long after taking medication for an abortion should I go for a follow-up check?

Patient's question:

How long after medication abortion should a follow-up examination be done?

Doctor's answer:

You can go to the hospital for a follow-up checkup about one week after the vaginal bleeding stops. However, if you experience persistent or intermittent lower abdominal pain after medication-induced abortion, prolonged vaginal bleeding, or abnormal vaginal discharge with a foul odor, you must seek medical attention promptly to avoid complications such as infection or other gynecological conditions.
Guidance:
It is best to rest for two weeks. The doctor will provide you with a medical certificate for your leave. During your recovery at home, treat it like a postpartum period, as there are many taboos to follow. Although it is summer and quite hot, avoid excessive cooling and do not wear slippers.
