Patient's question:
After taking medication for an abortion, around 5 days later, the bleeding stopped. Then I started experiencing mild lower abdominal pain, and the blood flow increased. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the amount of bleeding after medication abortion should not exceed menstrual flow, the bleeding duration should not last more than two weeks, and abdominal pain should not exceed 3-4 days. If it exceeds this range, it may indicate intrauterine residue, incomplete uterine involution, or uterine cavity infection. For your situation, it is recommended to closely monitor your condition and undergo a follow-up examination at the hospital two weeks after the medication abortion. If there are any significant abnormalities, seek medical attention promptly.
