Patient's question:
Hello, what should be noted during the entire process of medication abortion? What will happen if the medication abortion does not clear the uterine cavity?Doctor's answer:
Before taking medication abortion, it is important to first consider the indications and contraindications of the medication. If everything is in order, you can take Mifepristone and Misoprostol orally according to the certificate or doctor's advice. Because abortion medication may cause heavy bleeding, the last dose should be taken at the hospital. After the gestational sac is expelled, you should be observed for two hours to ensure there are no issues before you can go home. The drawbacks of medication abortion may include prolonged bleeding and incomplete abortion. If there is a significant amount of residual tissue, a D&C (dilation and curettage) may be necessary. If this is not done promptly, it may lead to uterine perforation and infection.
