Patient's question:
Hello, I had a medication-induced abortion and have been bleeding for nine days since taking the medication. The bleeding has been light today and has stopped. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, it is first recommended that you closely monitor the amount and duration of bleeding. Generally, bleeding will gradually subside within 1 week. If it hasn't stopped after 2 weeks, it's important to rule out the possibility of incomplete miscarriage.Guidelines:
Most medication-induced abortions are not completely effective, and many people require a follow-up D&C procedure. If the procedure is successful, it is advisable to rest and recover for a period of time. After the menstrual cycle returns to normal, you should have a gynecological ultrasound performed approximately 3 days after the last menstrual period to assess the thickness and healing of the endometrium. Generally, if the thickness is sufficient and the menstrual cycle is normal, there should be no major issues.
