What should be noted about biochemical abortion?

Patient's question:

I am about to have a biochemical abortion. Hello, what should I pay attention to for a biochemical abortion? How should I prepare?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it's just a matter of preparing for a follow-up check at the hospital. Biochemical pregnancy is not the same as biochemical miscarriage, even though both involve the loss of a fetus. However, their terms are different. Typically, if the fetus does not implant in the uterus, it is expelled, leading to heavy bleeding similar to menstruation. Additionally, a careful examination shows relatively low levels of progesterone and hCG. In this case, it can be preliminarily considered a biochemical pregnancy.
