Patient's question:
After 46 days of menopause, ultrasound showed a gestational sac size of 5 mm. All pre-abortion tests have been completed, and everything is normal. Now I want to know if a 5 mm gestational sac can be treated with medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
A gestational sac can usually be terminated with oral medication within 49 days of pregnancy. Currently, the success rate of medication abortion is less than 100%. It is recommended to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital one week after taking misoprostol to check if the abortion is complete. Whether the abortion is complete depends on the individual's sensitivity to the medication. It is recommended to take safe contraceptive measures if you do not plan to get pregnant, to avoid accidental pregnancy. Frequent abortions are harmful to the body and the endometrium. Using condoms or an intrauterine device after menstruation is safe for contraception.
