Patient's question:
Because of an accidental pregnancy, I bought some abortion pills and took them. I want to ask the doctor how long after taking the pills can I have a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
If you choose to have an abortion using medication, you will need to take misoprostol orally. After taking this medication, it will take 4-8 hours for the gestational sac to be expelled. If you decide to have a medication-induced abortion, it is recommended that you do so in a hospital rather than taking the medication privately. This is because taking the medication privately may lead to the risk of heavy bleeding, and there is also the possibility of a successful abortion. Therefore, medication-induced abortion should be performed under the guidance of a doctor in a hospital. After the abortion, an ultrasound follow-up is necessary. After the follow-up, you can then consider whether to have a uterine clearance procedure.
