Why does bleeding continue after medication abortion?

1. Incomplete abortion: This is the main cause of bleeding after medical abortion, which can generally be determined through gynecological examination and B-ultrasound;

2. Infection after medical abortion: If the B-ultrasound determines that there is no residue in the uterus, then intrauterine infection should be considered, because the blood from abortion is a good culture medium for bacteria. If the situation is serious, gynecological examination will show tenderness in the uterus and fever, etc.

3. Poor blood coagulation function: Some people easily develop bruises or bulges after a slight bump or clamp. This may be because the person's blood coagulation function is not very good. After medical abortion, heavy bleeding or prolonged bleeding may occur.
