It's been ten days since taking the medication for medication abortion, and the bleeding is now more than the previous two days. What should I do?

Patient's question:

I've been on medication for an abortion for ten days. The last two days were fine, but recently it's been getting worse again, and I'm also experiencing abdominal pain. I've had one child before, but she was born via C-section.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, the bleeding may be caused by qi deficiency failing to control blood, which is often due to prolonged illness, exhaustion, or spleen deficiency leading to qi deficiency. When qi is deficient, it cannot properly regulate the circulation of blood, causing it to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that fails to hold the blood.
It is recommended to take a large dose of astragalus decoction to boost qi and stop bleeding. In fact, under normal circumstances, any form of induced abortion will have some impact on the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to postoperative care and health maintenance.
For patients undergoing induced abortion, it is important to take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
