Patient's question:
My girlfriend had a medication abortion 45 days after becoming pregnant. The doctor said the abortion was very thorough, and after half a month, there was nothing wrong when she got checked. However, after half a month of the medication abortion, she has been bleeding every day, almost as much as during her menstrual period. She says she doesn't feel any discomfort, but why is she still bleeding? Could there be a problem? What impact will it have on her health? How should this be diagnosed and treated???Urgent!!!!!!!!!!
First follow-up question: She didn't get checked during those days after half a month of the medication abortion, but after a few days, she started bleeding again. It has been more than twenty days in total, but she hid it from me. Sigh.
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Vaginal bleeding after a miscarriage usually lasts for 3-5 days, with the longest duration not exceeding 15 days. If the bleeding duration is prolonged, the amount of bleeding exceeds the usual menstrual flow, or accompanied by significant abdominal pain, it may indicate incomplete miscarriage, poor uterine contraction, or infection, and it is important to seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment. This may lead to inflammation and requires active medical evaluation. You need to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital and then receive targeted treatment.
