Patient's question:
I don't want this child, so I had a medication abortion. Is medication abortion followed by a D&C? What are the risks of a D&C?Doctor's answer:
If the medication abortion is incomplete, it may be necessary to have a uterine clearance. This is to check how normal the condition inside the uterus is. If there is a significant amount of residue, then in this case, it is necessary to consider uterine clearance, as medication may help to completely expel these remnants from the body. Uterine clearance can cause some damage to a woman's uterus, and if it is not handled properly, it can easily lead to intrauterine inflammation. Therefore, the examination must be done well to avoid further problems.
