Patient's question:
2 days ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The baby stopped growing in the womb. I had not given birth before, nor had I miscarried. Under these circumstances, I was hospitalized and given medication to induce a miscarriage. After going home, I bled for over a month without stopping. What is the principle of medication-induced abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally, medication abortion can be chosen within 49 days of confirmed intrauterine pregnancy. Medication abortion carries certain risks, which may lead to heavy bleeding or incomplete termination. Based on your description, it appears to be a case of embryonic arrest, and it is generally recommended to undergo a D&C procedure. According to your description, the prolonged time until you started bleeding after taking the medication indicates a certain level of risk, and it is likely that the pregnancy tissue was not completely expelled or there may be other abnormalities in the uterus.
