Pain in the abdomen on the fifth day after medication abortion, along with blood clots, how come?

Patient's question:

Pain in the abdomen 5 days after medication abortion, along with blood clots, what is the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Hello friend, this situation is normal. It is recommended to have an ultrasound check. As long as the miscarriage is complete, there is no need to worry.
Recommendation: Five days after medication abortion, the bleeding should gradually decrease and then suddenly increase. This is likely because the medication abortion did not completely remove the endometrium of the uterus. After the termination of pregnancy, the blood HCG level decreases, so the thickened endometrium lacks the hormone support to maintain it, leading to its shedding and bleeding. The large blood clots you are currently experiencing are likely due to the endometrium shedding and being expelled from the body.
