Patient's question:
Can you have medication abortion immediately after getting pregnant? How long does it usually take for medication abortion? Is it necessary to have a uterine clearance after medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, you cannot directly undergo medication abortion because if it is not an intrauterine pregnancy, taking the medication will never expel the gestational sac. Therefore, after getting pregnant, you must first go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Once it is diagnosed that the pregnancy is intrauterine, if the pregnancy has not been less than 49 days, medication abortion can be performed. After medication abortion, if the gestational sac is expelled and the uterus contracts well with no remnants, and bleeding stops within a week, there is no need for a D&C procedure.
