Patient's question:
I found out a few days ago that I was pregnant. My partner and I discussed it and decided that we didn't want to bring it back because we didn't have the ability to raise a child yet. I went to the hospital for medication abortion and took the medicine at home for three days. A lump of tissue came out. I'm not sure if the medication abortion was successful. How can I confirm if the medication abortion was successful?Doctor's answer:
Although medication abortion causes less harm to women's physical health, it is non-sexual. If there is any residue, it is best to go to the hospital for uterine clearance. If it cannot be confirmed whether the medication abortion is successful, an ultrasound examination can be done to check if the intrauterine condition is normal and if there are any residual early pregnancy tissues. Only in this way can it be confirmed whether treatment is necessary. Medication abortion does cause some harm to women's physical health, but it is relatively safer than induced abortion.
