It has been a month since taking medication for an abortion, but there is still a small amount of bleeding. What is the reason for this?

Patient's question:

It's been a month since the medication abortion, but there's still some light bleeding. What's going on? When will my next period come?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, vaginal bleeding after a miscarriage generally lasts for 7-10 days, with the longest duration not exceeding 15 days. If the bleeding duration is prolonged, the amount of bleeding exceeds the normal menstrual flow, or is accompanied by significant abdominal pain, it may indicate infection or incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to seek medical attention for examination. It is advisable to check whether the miscarriage is incomplete or if the uterine contractions are insufficient. Further treatment may be required, such as uterine aspiration, anti-inflammatory therapy, and hemostatic treatment, along with medication to promote uterine contractions. Post-medicated abortion, the bleeding duration may be longer, but it is necessary to rule out the possibility of incomplete miscarriage.
