Patient's question:
Last year, I accidentally got pregnant and was afraid that my family would find out, so I used medication for an abortion. After the medication abortion, I felt very upset. If my elders or parents discover it, will medication abortion be noticeable? What kind of help do I care about: Can a doctor tell if I had a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after medication abortion, it is not possible to detect it because no instruments are passed through the cervix during the process, and no instruments are operated inside the patient's uterine cavity. However, some women may still be detected after medication abortion. Experts from China Abortion Network explain that this refers to women who have incomplete medication abortions. For those who are confirmed to have incomplete miscarriages after medication abortion, they must undergo a D&C procedure immediately to remove the remaining gestational sac and early pregnancy tissues from the uterus. For these women, since instruments are passed through the cervix into the uterine cavity.
