Patient's question:
Doctor, after taking the medication for 40 days, I have been having a little bit of blood when I go to the toilet. Today, I had an ultrasound and the results showed only a little bit of residual tissue. I want to ask if it's possible to avoid a D&C procedure? Because I'm not married and haven't had children yet.Doctor's answer:
Your medication abortion is suitable for women who are pregnant within 49 days. After taking the medication for abortion, you may experience vaginal bleeding symptoms that last for about a week, which is slightly more than the normal menstrual flow. If you have been taking the medication for abortion for 11 days now, and the bleeding symptom is still present, it is very likely that the uterine cavity has not been completely cleared. It is recommended that you first go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up with a color Doppler ultrasound to carefully observe the condition inside the uterine cavity. If there is residual tissue in the uterine cavity, consider undergoing a uterine aspiration procedure.
