Answer
Hello. My wife's case just had a 9-week miscarriage. However, according to the doctor, the 9-week pregnancy period is saved, but only taking medicine to cause miscarriage will be difficult to miscarry and there is a high risk of miscarriage.
Ideally, you should take your wife to the maternity clinic to check again. If there is still a placenta, the doctor will take appropriate measures and stop bleeding for my wife.
You can also register for a check-up for your wife at reputable clinics near your home or go directly to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to receive an in-depth examination as well as receive more advice on the status of taking birth control pills. Urgent bleeding after abortion, is it dangerous for tired people? Looking forward to meeting you and your wife and talking more. Best regards.
