What should I do if the medication from medication abortion doesn't come down?

Patient's question:

What should I do if the medication from medication abortion doesn't come out? Do I still need to have a D&C procedure to remove the child? What are the risks?

Doctor's answer:

In the case of successful medication, it is still recommended to go to the hospital to undergo a careful ultrasound examination and then schedule a uterine clearance procedure. This process is quite similar to an induced abortion, so it can still cause damage to the endometrium. After a miscarriage, it is important to prevent inflammation and infection. Do not feel stressed and monitor your appetite to see if it returns to normal. Avoid strenuous exercise and pay attention to hygiene. Pay attention to hygiene, change sanitary pads and underwear frequently, and do not engage in sexual intercourse or take baths for the first month.
