Patient's question:
Just checked a month ago, if using medication abortion, can it be avoided without a D&C?Doctor's answer:
You can generally decide on medication abortion within 49 days of confirming an intrauterine pregnancy. Medication abortion carries certain risks, which may lead to incomplete abortion or heavy bleeding. If incomplete abortion or heavy bleeding occurs again, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be necessary. If the medication abortion is successful, a D&C is not required. The success of medication abortion depends on your sensitivity to the medication and the size of the gestational sac. It is recommended that you visit a reputable large hospital for a detailed and thorough examination. Based on your specific condition, medication and treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
