Patient's question:
After taking medication for abortion, it has been clean but not completely thorough, with minimal bleeding. Ultrasound showed no remnants. My period came 35 days later and lasted for 6 days, then it was clean for 3 or 4 days. Today, some brown discharge appeared again. I had a transvaginal ultrasound, which showed an endometrial thickness of 0.8 cm. Is this situation serious?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is a method that uses medication to terminate pregnancy. People have different levels of sensitivity to the medication, so the complete abortion rate of medication abortion also varies. Bleeding after medication abortion usually occurs for about two weeks. If bleeding persists for more than 20 days, it is necessary to visit the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check for the possibility of residual tissue in the uterine cavity or infection. Further treatment, such as a D&C procedure, may be required.
