Patient's question:
I'm pregnant, but I don't want to be. I also don't want to go to the hospital for an abortion because I'm not married. So, I took medication for an abortion. But now I've noticed that after 10 days, the medicine hasn't worked—the test strip still shows positive. Does this mean I haven't miscarried yet and am still pregnant? What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to go to the hospital for a magnetic resonance examination to check for any remaining early pregnancy tissue. After a miscarriage, hCG usually returns to normal within 2 to 3 weeks. If the magnetic resonance examination does not detect any remaining early pregnancy tissue, do not be too anxious. Pay close attention to observe vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and other discomforts. After a miscarriage, it is important to rest and avoid fatigue, enhance nutrition, and promote the body's early recovery. For one month after a miscarriage, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited to prevent a recurrence of infection.
