Is it normal to have a menstrual period ten days after taking medication to stop bleeding?

Patient's question:

The medication abortion stopped bleeding only after half a month. After the bleeding stopped, I had my period again 10 days later. Is this normal? After the medication abortion, I took traditional Chinese medicine to replenish qi and blood. I didn't feel any unusual symptoms in my body.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, your condition may not be normal menstrual bleeding, and there is a possibility of retained intrauterine residues.
Recommendations:
It is recommended to rest actively. If necessary, it is advisable to promptly undergo follow-up ultrasound examinations at the hospital. If there are retained residues, it is better to actively choose a uterine curettage treatment. In fact, under normal circumstances, any form of abortion can cause certain harm to a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Post-abortion patients should focus on self-care, such as keeping warm and avoiding contact with cold water.
