How to care after medication abortion

Patient's question:

After medication abortion, residual tissue can lead to severe bleeding. Is it that serious? / What happens with heavy bleeding?

Doctor's answer:

If there are residual materials after medication abortion, it is necessary to have timely uterine aspiration. Otherwise, the substances remaining in the uterus may organize and affect the body's coagulation function, making it easy to experience repeated bleeding, which can go beyond the final stage and lead to severe hemorrhage. The bleeding may gradually intensify or be more severe. If it reaches the level of severe hemorrhage, it is like hemorrhagic shock, and if it cannot be stopped, it can endanger life. 1. In most cases, residual materials after medication abortion cannot be completely expelled on their own.
