Patient's question:
What should I do if I don't see a gestational sac after medication abortion? Is it because it wasn't completely passed? Do I need a D&C procedure? Will it be very harmful to my body?Doctor's answer:
I am very happy to help you solve your problem. Under normal circumstances, when deciding on medication abortion, it should be on the third day. Under the supervision of a doctor, misoprostol should be taken orally. About six hours after taking the medication, vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain may occur again. Subsequently, the gestational sac should be expelled. It is important to observe carefully. If you did not notice or see it at the time, you can consider having an MRI examination later to check how well the uterine cavity has been cleared. If there is any residue, another D&C procedure will be needed.
