Can a 5x4mm gestational sac be aborted with medication?

Patient's question:

Still young, don't want children yet, accidentally got pregnant. Can I have a medication abortion with a gestational sac size of 5x4mm?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you have already confirmed an intrauterine pregnancy with an ultrasound, and if you want to terminate an early pregnancy, you can certainly go to the hospital for an induced abortion, medication abortion, or painless abortion. Medication abortion is also an option. It is recommended to undergo medication abortion under the guidance of a doctor, using mifepristone and misoprostol. After taking the last dose of medication, abdominal pain and bleeding typically occur within 3 to 6 hours. At this time, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible for close observation and show the doctor the contents that have been expelled to check if everything has been cleared. The doctor will address the situation based on the specific circumstances. If it is not completely cleared, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be necessary.
