Is a D&C performed 20 days after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Should it have been a medication abortion 20 days ago? Is it necessary to have a uterine clearance 20 days after medication abortion? What should be prepared for the uterine clearance surgery?

Doctor's answer:

You have had a medication-induced abortion, and it has been over 20 days. You should go to the hospital for an ultrasound to carefully observe the condition of the uterine cavity. Whether the fetus has been completely expelled can be determined. If the fetus has been completely expelled, there is no need for a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure. On the other hand, if the fetus has not been completely miscarried, you should follow the doctor's guidance and have the D&C procedure done as soon as possible. There is no need for much preparation before the surgery, just make sure to keep your mind calm and not too tense.
