Patient's question:

After taking medication for an abortion, I stopped bleeding on the 10th day. Then, five days later, I had a little bit of bleeding again. Could you please ask an expert if this is not normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the bleeding after medication abortion usually lasts for 1-3 weeks. The general pattern is that the bleeding decreases day by day. If the bleeding decreases and then increases again, it is abnormal. Common causes include incomplete abortion. This can usually be diagnosed through a gynecological examination and ultrasound. If the ultrasound shows no residual tissue in the uterus, it is necessary to consider an infection within the uterus. It is recommended that you receive treatment after confirming the diagnosis. Pay attention to nutrition and rest, and avoid sexual activity or tub baths within one month.
