Can medication abortion be performed in the intrauterine dark area?

Patient's question:

I got pregnant unexpectedly and don't want this child. I plan to go to the hospital today to have a medication abortion, but the ultrasound shows an intrauterine dark area. Can I still have a medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

This is not possible. Generally, medication abortion is recommended only after the fetal heartbeat has been observed to develop. It is advisable to pay attention to the timing of medication. If taken too early, it may lead to either success or residual tissue. Please use medication safely and follow the doctor's advice. Avoid spicy foods and focus on enhancing nutrition. Additionally, a follow-up check-up one week after the procedure is recommended to ensure everything is clear.
