Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:I just had a medication abortion, and today is the 3rd day. My abdomen has been in constant pain similar to menstrual cramps, and the bleeding hasn't decreased either. It's more than my usual menstrual flow. Is this normal? If so, how long should this last to be considered normal? How long would it take for it to improve before it's considered abnormal? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
After a medication-induced abortion, if there is no bleeding for half a month, it is necessary to consider whether there is a problem. Since there is currently vaginal bleeding and the uterus is in an open state, it is recommended to take some routine antibiotics orally to prevent infection. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum, and change underwear and pants frequently. In particular, avoid sexual activity.
