Patient's question:
I am undergoing medication abortion, but I don't know what the gestational sac looks like after the medication is passed. What should I pay attention to after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your questions. Medication-induced abortion usually involves abdominal pain about six hours after taking Mifepristone on the third day, along with vaginal bleeding. Subsequently, the gestational sac is expelled. It is generally recommended that Mifepristone be taken under medical supervision, as a doctor needs to determine whether the complete gestational sac has been expelled. If you decide to take the medication at home, you will typically expel large, solid, meat-like tissue. It is best to consult a doctor again afterward. Subsequently, you may experience lochia, which usually lasts for 3 to 7 days. If vaginal bleeding continues for more than seven days, it may indicate residual tissue, and you should undergo another MRI examination.
