On the third day after taking medication for medication abortion, what does the expelled substance look like?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello! After medication abortion, will be expelled, which is less than the amount of menstruation and appears dark red. There will be about 10–15 days of irregular vaginal bleeding after medication abortion. If the bleeding has not stopped after more than 3 weeks and the amount of bleeding has not decreased, it may indicate incomplete medication abortion. It is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and undergo examination at a formal hospital. If the abortion is not complete, a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure may be required. It is recommended that you have an ultrasound now to check for any retained tissue in the uterine cavity. If retained tissue is found, it is important to undergo a D&C as soon as possible.
