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, bleeding may start to increase after one week, accompanied by abdominal pain. This is most likely a symptom of incomplete abortion. It is important to promptly visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination to help confirm whether the abortion is incomplete. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of induced abortion can cause certain damage to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Patients undergoing induced abortion should pay attention to self-care, such as keeping warm and avoiding contact with cold water.
