Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after medication-induced abortion, there is naturally bleeding and abdominal pain. At this time, you need to rest more, apply heat to your abdomen, and avoid contact with cold and irritating substances. It usually stops within about a week. At this point, you can go to the hospital for a follow-up check to see if it has been completely expelled. Abortion can cause certain harm to the body, so you need to pay attention to post-procedure care. Medication-induced abortion generally lasts for about 10-14 days. Of course, abdominal pain could also be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. It is recommended to have an abdominal ultrasound to check for the possibility of pelvic effusion. You can first observe the symptoms on your own. If the symptoms persist, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations to rule out the possibility of incomplete abortion.
