Is it necessary to have a uterine clearance if there is residue after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Does residual medication after medication abortion require a uterine clearance?

Doctor's answer:

After medication abortion, if there are residual tissues, it is not common for them to remain. In such cases, you can take many blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving medications without necessarily needing a D&C procedure. However, if there is a significant amount of residual tissue that cannot be expelled from the body, a D&C procedure may be necessary to resolve the issue. Therefore, in your case, if there is a large amount of residual tissue, it is best to undergo surgery. Wishing you good health.
