Patient's question:
Medical abortion hasn't cleared up after 20 days. How can the things on the uterus be scraped off after staying there for too long?Doctor's answer:
Hello, women who undergo medication abortion generally experience a longer period of vaginal bleeding compared to those who undergo Dilation and Curettage (D&C). If the menstrual cycle has only been delayed by about 35 days, the bleeding is usually lighter. If the menstrual cycle has been delayed for a longer duration, the bleeding period will also be extended. On average, the bleeding duration is around 14-18 days. Therefore, it is recommended to return for a check-up approximately two weeks after the abortion. In the first 2 to 3 days after medication abortion, the amount of vaginal bleeding is usually equivalent to or slightly more than a normal menstrual cycle. If there is a significant amount of bleeding or if it persists without stopping, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
