Hello, Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. I would like to know if your wife has been under medical surveillance while taking the medication for induction of medical abortion. If not, I would ask you to contact a specialist right away. Uterine contraction caused by the medication leads to the pain. Though bleeding is a feature of the abortion, heavy bleeding should call for concern. Also, medical abortion is to be done until 9 weeks of pregnancy only. Better results are seen until 7 weeks. Inadequate dosage can lead to an incomplete abortion and heavy bleeding, infection and infertility problems in the future. Please get further help from your health care provider. Hope this helps.
