Patient's question:
When having sex with my boyfriend, we didn't use proper contraception, and as a result, I got pregnant. Because I discovered it in time, the doctor said I can still decide to have a medication abortion. It's said that if a miscarriage isn't done properly, it can cause significant harm to a woman's body. What should I pay attention to when having a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Medical abortion primarily requires careful observation of vaginal bleeding, as it may lead to severe bleeding. Therefore, after medical abortion, if excessive vaginal bleeding is detected, an ultrasound follow-up should be performed promptly, and a uterine evacuation may be necessary. During the process of medical abortion, it is important to closely monitor whether the gestational sac has been expelled and whether the expelled contents are complete. If vomiting occurs again within two hours of taking the medication, it may be necessary to take additional medication.
