Patient's question:
Recently, I found out that I was pregnant, but now the timing is not right. I just got married to my boyfriend, and the child has to be aborted. So, I underwent medication abortion. A few days later, I didn't feel well and had a thorough examination. The result was that the embryo didn't completely pass. I want to ask if the embryo will still develop properly in this situation?Doctor's answer:
After medication abortion, if the embryo is not completely expelled, it is a symptom of incomplete medication abortion, and it is necessary to promptly perform a D&C procedure to resolve it. After medication abortion, the embryo is already and will no longer focus on growth and development. If a D&C is not performed to resolve it, it may lead to uterine infection and may also cause severe bleeding. Medication abortion should be performed in a hospital with D&C conditions. During the surgery, it is important to carefully observe the expulsion of the gestational sac, and after the surgery, regular and thorough follow-up checks should be conducted to ensure complete recovery.
