Patient's question:
I just took the medication for medication-induced abortion and am waiting for its effects. Does medication abortion ensure cleanliness? What if it's not completely cleaned out?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is suitable for healthy women with confirmed intrauterine early pregnancy who are not eligible for surgical abortion and have a menstrual stop of 49 days. Compared to surgical abortion, medication abortion is simpler to take and causes less pain. However, medication abortion also has its risks. If the medication abortion is successful, but the follow-up ultrasound shows that the gestational sac has not been completely expelled, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure must be performed. Otherwise, residual gestational sacs may develop abnormally in the uterine cavity, leading to heavy bleeding again and excessive blood loss that could endanger life.
