Patient's question:
Medical history with an intrauterine device (IUD) and pregnancy: Can medication abortion be used?Doctor's answer:
In this case, medication abortion is not suitable because the intrauterine device (IUD) will obstruct the normal expulsion of intrauterine residues, making it easy to experience residual tissue that may require a D&C procedure to resolve, leading to increased pain, excessive bleeding, and prolonged recovery time.Recommendation: It is advisable to undergo a surgical abortion at a gynecological department of the hospital. Additionally, the IUD position can be adjusted, or a new IUD can be inserted to prevent future unintended pregnancies. Wishing you good health.
