Is it normal to have heavy bleeding one week after taking medication?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Is it normal for the bleeding to still be heavy one week after taking medication for an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after taking medication for an abortion, if bleeding starts to increase after one week and accompanied by abdominal pain, it is likely due to incomplete abortion. It is important to visit a hospital promptly for an ultrasound examination to help confirm whether the abortion is incomplete. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of abortion can cause certain damage to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Abortion patients should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding contact with cold water.
