Can taking misoprostol on an empty stomach lead to a complete miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Because of an accidental pregnancy, I wasn't prepared to have a child. At the hospital, the doctor recommended medication abortion. I took three nights of mifepristone tablets for a miscarriage and this morning, on an empty stomach, I took misoprostol. An hour later, my stomach started hurting, and then a clump of red stuff came out. Could you please tell me if this means the medication abortion has been successful and is clean?

Doctor's answer:

If there is a situation of skin peeling after a miscarriage, it is likely to be a small abortion. However, the gestational sac is grayish-white, so you should rest more and carefully observe for a few days to see how you can clean up by yourself. Do not eat extremely cold foods. In a few days, you need to schedule a follow-up ultrasound. Generally, it can be cleaned up within 1 week. However, a miscarriage can affect the body, so you need to prevent uterine infection or anemia. Do not catch a cold.
