Yesterday morning, I got the abortion injection. The next day, I started bleeding.

Patient's question:

Yesterday morning I got the abortion injection, and the next day I started bleeding. I had stomach pain in the late night. Why isn't it dilating? Is it almost time?

Doctor's answer:

An induced abortion refers to the surgical termination of pregnancy, also known as "artificial" termination of pregnancy. The methods of induced abortion include vacuum aspiration and curettage, among others; vacuum aspiration involves inserting a hollow tube into the uterine cavity and using negative pressure to remove the embryonic tissue from the uterus, while curettage uses forceps to remove large pieces of embryonic tissue from the uterus.
Advice: Avoid sexual activity for at least one month after the procedure to prevent the introduction of pathogens into the reproductive organs. Otherwise, it may lead to endometritis, and there is also an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy during future pregnancies.
