How to handle continuous bleeding after medication abortion

Patient's question:

I had a medication abortion on the 29th of last month, but I still have bleeding now, along with blood clots. My lower abdomen also frequently aches, not intensely. Could it be that it wasn't completely cleaned out? If it wasn't, should I have a D&C procedure? Will it be painful? How much will it cost approximately? Are there any other ways to remedy this?

Doctor's answer:

??????Generally, this situation will last for about 3 days. The amount of bleeding is slightly more than the menstrual flow or equal to it. If it hasn't stopped after half a month, it's necessary to promptly review and check for the possibility of residual tissue. There is a risk of residual tissue and secondary infection after medication abortion, so it's important to take anti-inflammatory medication on time post-surgery and to follow proper postoperative care, including anti-inflammatory hygiene.
