What problems may occur after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor! I have been experiencing thin liquid discharge for 27 days after taking medication for a miscarriage, sometimes accompanied by a small amount of bleeding. On the 18th day after the medication, I developed a rash and went to the hospital. The doctor ordered an abdominal ultrasound, which revealed an 80mm blood clot in the uterine cavity. The doctor prescribed a blood-nourishing and blood-stasis-resolving decoction, but it hasn’t been very effective. It’s now the 27th day, and I’m wondering if this condition is directly related to having had sexual intercourse seven days after the medication? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal bleeding after a miscarriage usually lasts for 3-5 days, with a maximum duration not exceeding 15 days. If the bleeding lasts too long, the amount of blood exceeds the normal menstrual flow, or is accompanied by severe abdominal pain, it may indicate incomplete miscarriage, poor uterine contraction, or infection, and medical attention should be sought promptly for examination and treatment.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any method of induced abortion will have some impact on a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to postoperative care and health maintenance. Patients undergoing induced abortion should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
