Bleeding after an abortion typically lasts for 1 to 2 weeks, but can vary.
According to information available, here's what to expect:
- Initial Bleeding: It's common to bleed for 1 to 2 weeks after either a medical or surgical abortion.
- Fluctuating Flow: The blood flow might stop and then restart during this initial period.
- Decreasing Bleeding: After one or two weeks, the bleeding should gradually decrease.
- Spotting: You may experience light bleeding or spotting for a few weeks after the initial bleeding subsides, potentially until your next period.
In summary, while the heaviest bleeding usually stops within 1-2 weeks, spotting can continue for a longer period.
