After taking medication for an abortion, I feel discomfort in my lower abdomen and back. What could be the reason?

Patient's question:

Hello, I had a medication abortion on April 20th. The bleeding just stopped about a week ago, and now it's back, like my period. I have discomfort in my lower abdomen and back. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after a miscarriage, bleeding usually lasts for 7-15 days, formed by the shedding of the endometrium, blood, and necrotic decidua. However, if it exceeds twenty days or if there is heavy bleeding accompanied by abdominal pain and lower back pain, it may indicate incomplete miscarriage.
Advice: It is recommended to visit the hospital promptly for a check-up to determine if the uterus is clear. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
