Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant, but my boyfriend doesn't have any intention of getting married right now, so I have to have an abortion. I want a medication abortion. Hello, will a medication abortion be incomplete?Doctor's answer:
The biggest side effect of medication abortion is incomplete miscarriage or prolonged vaginal bleeding. If bleeding after medication abortion lasts less than 7 to 10 days, further medical examination with an ultrasound can be conducted to check the condition of the uterine cavity. If there is thick residual tissue, a D&C procedure may be necessary. If there is only a small amount of residual tissue, oral anti-inflammatory and uterine contraction-promoting drugs can be taken to help expel the residual tissue.
