What is the reason for blood clots being discharged half a month after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

After taking medication for a miscarriage, there are still blood clots being expelled half a month later. Additionally, there is lower back pain and abdominal pain. Can I take hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs? Is it because the miscarriage was incomplete that this is happening? If I take medication, can it be resolved?

Doctor's answer:

If bleeding persists for about 2 weeks, it is not normal. It is recommended to undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination promptly to observe the condition of the uterine cavity and determine if there is a possibility of intrauterine residue. In normal cases, the duration of bleeding after medication abortion rarely exceeds 2 weeks. Long-term and recurrent bleeding can not only cause anemia due to blood loss but also increase the risk of gynecological infections.
Prompt hospitalization and medical consultation are advised to undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination to observe the condition of the uterine cavity and rule out the possibility of intrauterine residue.
