How long after medication abortion should a follow-up examination be conducted?

Patient's question:

How long after taking medication should a follow-up examination be conducted?

Doctor's answer:

You can go to the hospital for a follow-up checkup about one week after the vaginal bleeding stops. However, if persistent or intermittent lower abdominal pain occurs after medication-induced abortion, or if the vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time and the discharge has an odor, you must go to the hospital for a follow-up checkup promptly to avoid complications such as infection or other gynecological inflammatory conditions.
Guidance:
It is best to rest for two weeks. The doctor will give you a medical leave slip. You should rest at home as if you were recovering from a postpartum period, avoiding many taboos. Although it is summer and quite hot, you should not indulge in coolness or wear slippers.
