Twenty days after taking medication for an abortion, there is still brown discharge.

Patient's question:

Twenty days after taking the medication for an abortion, I still have brown discharge and a white discharge mixed with blood. Occasionally, there's a little bit of blood. Is this considered a successful medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding within 2 weeks after medication abortion, with the bleeding volume not exceeding the amount of a menstrual period. Currently, it is recommended to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination to determine if there is any intrauterine residue, uterine infection, or incomplete uterine involution. Identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Within 3 weeks after medication abortion, the pregnancy test may still be positive, and it will gradually return to normal after 3 weeks.
