Question
Hello doctor,
I just had a medical abortion more than 2 weeks ago. I re-examined on January 13, the doctor determined that the pregnancy was over. Yesterday I had sex again and I had bleeding like a period. The doctor asked me to ask if there is bleeding after a medical abortion? Does that affect anything, doc? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
To the question “Is it okay to have bleeding after a medical abortion? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Normally, after an abortion, a woman will have symptoms of bleeding for about 5-10 days, the amount of blood will decrease day by day and then the bleeding will stop. In addition, because the body and the recovery state are different from person to person, some cases will last for a few more days. If after sex the amount of blood is less, dark red and no abdominal pain, you can monitor more. If the amount of blood is a lot, has a strange color such as black, foul, clots with severe abdominal pain, illness, high fever, ... you need to go to a medical facility right away, because there is a high possibility that you are suffering from an infection. Infection of the uterus, cervix, or vagina.
If you still have questions about the bleeding relationship after a medical abortion, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
