What specific tests are required for medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I just carefully checked and found out that I'm pregnant, but my husband and I don't want this child. Recently, I'm considering having a medication abortion. I want to ask the doctor what kind of careful checks are needed for a medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Before taking medication-induced abortion, a thorough ultrasound examination is generally required, followed by detailed tests of liver and kidney function, as well as a complete blood count and a vaginal discharge test. If all indicators are normal and the duration of amenorrhea is within 49 days, with an age around 40, medication-induced abortion can generally be considered. However, there is a small possibility of incomplete abortion with medication-induced abortion, so it is necessary to take the prescribed oral medication under the guidance of a clinic doctor. If incomplete abortion occurs again, surgical uterine aspiration may be required.
