How long does medication abortion take to expel the gestational sac?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend had a medication abortion when she was two months pregnant. She just went for it this afternoon. How long does a medication abortion use the gestational sac?

Doctor's answer:

How long the medication abortion uses the gestational sac depends on individual physical conditions. Medication abortion causes significant harm to the body, so it is recommended to have an ultrasound after a week to check if there are any residual tissues in the uterus, as medication abortion can easily leave behind incomplete residues. After medication abortion, it is important to pay close attention to rest and should rest in bed for about 20 days, similar to the postpartum period.
