Patient's question:
I want to know if after a medication-induced abortion with continuous bleeding for 13 days, which then stops, how long should it take before my next menstrual period comes? Can it come during the same month?If after continuous bleeding for 13 days following a medication-induced abortion, it stops, and two days later there is a small amount of blood when using toilet paper, is this incomplete abortion? Do I need a D&C? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, after medication abortion, menstruation usually comes back about a month later. Although medication abortion causes less harm to the body, there is a possibility of residual tissue. It is important to pay attention to this. The follow-up check after medication abortion must be done well. If there is a residual tissue condition, it needs to be cleared from the uterus as soon as possible. This point cannot be ignored. It is important to pay attention to this. Whether it is medication abortion or other methods of abortion, it is recommended to rest and recuperate well. The female physiological cycle is generally one month, and menstruation usually returns about a month after medication abortion.
