Patient's question:
Patient Age: 23Detailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: I had a medication abortion a month ago, but there is still black bleeding, though the amount is not much. The gestational sac was confirmed to be expelled at the hospital. Right after the procedure, there was no bleeding for about 10 minutes, but then it started again. The bleeding is intermittent—there are days with bleeding and days without. Now, it has returned and been black for 6 days straight. Is this normal? Additionally, I feel mild abdominal pain whenever I do some light exercise. How long might this situation last, and do I need to go to the hospital for further examination?
Medical History: None
First Follow-up Question: I am currently taking Motherwort.
Doctor's answer:
Suggestion: Generally, menstruation lasts for about 3 to 7 days. However, some people may experience a slight return of bleeding a day or two after their period has ended, which is commonly referred to as "return of menstrual blood." This duration can vary from half a day to several days. This is not a disease but a normal phenomenon. If you still feel concerned or have other discomforts, such as abdominal pain or excessive bleeding, you can visit the hospital for relevant examinations.
