Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital for medication abortion and took Mifepristone for two days. Today, I took Misoprostol. I took it at 8 in the morning, and by 10 in the morning, it had come out. But now my stomach still hurts more than before, and I'm also having diarrhea. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to help you. In cases where the situation cannot be accurately determined based on a simple description, it's difficult to accurately predict the success of medication-induced abortion. If the uterine lining becomes thickened after conception, it may peel off without drying, which could also lead to persistent vaginal bleeding. The recurrence of diarrhea symptoms might still be a side effect of the medication. Generally, symptoms will gradually stabilize. If the amount of vaginal bleeding cannot be closely monitored, it's best to have an ultrasound around one week after medication-induced abortion to rule out residual tissue in the uterine cavity.
