Does medication abortion have side effects?

Patient's question:

Menstrual period too long

Doctor's answer:

The vaginal bleeding after medication abortion is considered normal if it occurs within two weeks and the amount of bleeding does not exceed the usual menstrual flow. If the bleeding duration exceeds two weeks and the amount of bleeding is greater than the usual menstrual flow, it is important to identify the cause of the bleeding and consider undergoing a uterine aspiration procedure.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of abortion can have some impact on the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Patients undergoing an abortion should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
