Patient's question:
I've had an abortion for 12 days today. But there's still blood, and last night when I was sleeping, I felt my back was very sore. What harm could this cause? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
After medication abortion, bleeding usually lasts for 7-8 days, with the longest duration being half a month. Generally, a follow-up ultrasound is needed 10 days after medication abortion to check for any residual tissue in the uterine cavity and the condition of uterine contraction. It has been 12 days since your medication abortion, and you are still bleeding. Have you had a follow-up ultrasound? If not, it is recommended that you get one to check for residual tissue in the uterine cavity and the condition of uterine contraction. Otherwise, prolonged bleeding may lead to uterine infection! Currently, you have back pain, which is likely unrelated to this issue. It might be due to prolonged static posture. It is not significantly related to gynecological problems!
