Is it normal to have bleeding but not pass the gestational sac during medication abortion?

Patient's question:

As a pregnant woman, I haven't prepared to have this child. Is it normal for the medication abortion to break the skin but not expel the gestational sac?

Doctor's answer:

Medication-induced bleeding without the expulsion of the gestational sac is abnormal. It is important to closely monitor your body's condition. If necessary, a D&C (dilation and curettage) can be performed to resolve the issue. Rest well, protect your abdomen from cold, and carefully observe the bleeding. Generally, the gestational sac is expelled from the body about 8 hours after taking the medication. It is advisable to closely monitor your body's condition and actively implement anti-inflammatory measures, which will aid in your body's full recovery.
