If the medication for medication abortion is not completely effective and there is still some stomach pain, what should I do?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I had a medication abortion, but it wasn't completely clean, so I had a bit of bleeding! My stomach doesn't hurt, but the doctor said I need a D&C (dilation and curettage)!

Doctor's answer:

You currently see a very small amount of residual in the uterine cavity. If there is no bleeding, you can first observe carefully. Generally, a very small amount of residual can be expelled from the body along with the menstrual period. It is recommended to pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia, wear cotton underwear that is loose and breathable, and avoid tight-fitting underwear to keep the external genitalia dry. If you are not planning to get pregnant, you should take appropriate safety measures to prevent accidental pregnancy and frequent miscarriages, as this can cause harm to your body and the endometrium. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
