Hello,

Thank you for your question. Abortion, also know as pregnancy termination, is a medical procedure that is done to end pregnancy. There are 2 main ways to do an abortion: Medication abortion- you take pills to end pregnancy. This only works until 10 weeks into a pregnancy (that means 10 weeks after your last period). It is also sometimes called ''medical abortion''. Women who have a medication abortion need to take 2 separate medicines. Surgical abortion- a doctor uses surgical tools to end the pregnancy. This can be done in the first or second trimester. The procedure take 15 to 30 minutes, but most women spend a few hour at the clinic.

Medical abortion, you will take a medicine called mifepristone. 1 to 2 days later, you will take another medicine. This one is called misoprostol. You can take second medicine at home. The medicines cause your body to end the pregnancy. It might take 4 to 6 hours after taking the second medicine for this to happen. When it does, you will bleed from you vagina. You might also see blood clots or piece of tissue. Common symptoms of medical abortion include pain and cramp in the lower abdomen after you take second medicine. This last for up to 6 hours. Bleeding from the vagina. bleeding can be very heavy for a few hours after you take misoprostol. Light bleeding might go on for a few weeks. There also fever, nausea , vomiting and diarrhea.

In some cases, abortions do not work completely. in other words, they do not always get rid of all the pregnancy tissue. if that happens to you, you will need to have a procedure to remove any leftover tissu. Sign that an abortion was not complete include bleeding for more than 2 weeks after an abortion, not having a period in the first 6 weeks after an abortion.

After medical abortion, your first period may longer than usual, because the treatment uses hormones that may impact your cycle length. This period can also be heavier as the body may have additional tissue to expel after the procedure. I recommend you to use pads during the first period after an abortion that allows the doctor to monitor the amount of blood you are losing. The second period after an abortion is likely to return to how an individual's periods were before. Some women may find that it takes two or three cycles for their periods to return to normal. if this does not happen, you should go to see your doctor. Etamsylate, no need in this case. You can wait and see. If you feel fatigue from heavy bleeding, you may need your doctor to reevaluate your condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician.
