Patient's question:
She had a medication-induced abortion on February 3rd, and she hasn't been bleeding much since then. However, a few days ago, I accompanied her to the hospital for a follow-up check-up and an ultrasound. The results were as follows:Uterine size: Length 62mm, Width 54mm, Thickness 46mm.
Anterior uterus: Clear outline, uniform distribution of light spots in the myometrium, no obvious abnormal echoes observed. Small areas of light spot echoes were seen in the uterine cavity, approximately 10x9mm in size.
CDFI: No obvious abnormal blood flow signals were detected inside the uterus.
Examination of both adnexal regions: No abnormal echoes were found.
Ultrasound findings: The uterus is of normal size, with no signs of space-occupying lesions. Small areas of light spot echoes were observed in the uterine cavity, and no obvious masses were found in both adnexal regions. Recommendation: Follow-up examination is advised.
Doctor's answer:
The bleeding from medication abortion is generally around one week, but because everyone's physical condition is different, the bleeding after medication abortion can also vary. If a pregnant woman still has persistent bleeding 20 days after medication abortion, it could be a sign of incomplete abortion or ectopic pregnancy. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
