How is medication abortion done?

Patient's question:

I only realized I was pregnant about a month ago, then my boyfriend asked me to get an abortion. So I bought some pills to take. On June 19th, I had a medication abortion, which was only a few days after the month. What should I do now?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the skin should be clean about 1 week after medication abortion. Based on your current condition, it may also be due to a successful miscarriage or residual tissue causing prolonged bleeding. Active preventive measures are needed. If you have anemia, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a few days for a follow-up ultrasound examination. In these days, follow the doctor's advice to enhance nutrition. If necessary, it is suggested to consider a D&C procedure to prevent the risk of intrauterine infection.
