What generally needs to be paid attention to during medication abortion?

Patient's question:

When having sex with your boyfriend, you didn't use proper contraception, and as a result, you did get pregnant. Because you discovered it in time, the doctor said that you can still decide to have a medication-induced abortion. It is said that if a miscarriage is not done properly, it can cause significant harm to a woman's body. What should you pay attention to when having a medication-induced abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Medical abortion primarily requires careful observation of vaginal bleeding, as it may lead to severe bleeding. Therefore, after a medical abortion, if excessive vaginal bleeding is detected, it is important to undergo an ultrasound follow-up examination and, if necessary, undergo uterine evacuation. During the process of medical abortion, it is essential to closely monitor whether the gestational sac has been expelled and whether the expelled contents are complete. If nausea and vomiting occur again within two hours of taking the medication, it may be necessary to take the medication again.
