Patient's question:
When will the bleeding stop after medication abortion? Does no bleeding mean the abortion was successful? Will there still be remnants in the body? How long until menstruation comes back? How is it calculated specifically????? Can the doctors help me explain this in more detail? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
After the fetal tissue is expelled, there will be no bleeding. Oral dong quai can help with uterine contractions. No bleeding at all indicates that the medication abortion was not successful. It is generally recommended to have an ultrasound one week after medication abortion to confirm whether the fetal tissue has been completely expelled. If it has not been expelled, a D&C procedure will be necessary. Menstruation usually occurs one month later, but there is individual variation.In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion can cause some damage to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Patients undergoing abortion should take care of themselves, such as keeping warm and avoiding cold water.
