Patient's question:
I was pregnant for the first time and wanted to have a medication abortion. I have already had an ultrasound at the hospital, and the results showed that the uterus is 42mm long, 37mm wide, and 36mm thick. However, the doctor said it was too small and asked me to wait a few more days before having a medication abortion. But I saw online that it's better to have a medication abortion as early as possible, and it can be done within 49 days after the period. So I have some doubts and don't quite understand.Doctor's answer:
The average bleeding time after medication abortion is about 18 days, though it varies from person to person. Some may bleed for a shorter duration. Due to the of medication abortion, the bleeding time after medication abortion is generally longer than that after surgical abortion. If bleeding persists for more than two weeks without stopping, it is important to consider whether an abnormal situation has occurred, or even if the medication abortion has failed. It is recommended that you return to the hospital promptly for a follow-up examination to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
