What is the reason for no blood flow after the medication-induced abortion failed to expel the gestational sac?

Patient's question:

Not long ago, it was carefully discovered that I was pregnant. I had a medication-induced abortion, but the gestational sac didn't and there's no bleeding anymore. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Medical abortion involves using abortion drugs to terminate early pregnancy. It is generally suitable for early pregnancy, and the effectiveness of medical abortion improves the fewer days pregnant a person is. After taking the medication, symptoms such as vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain may reappear as the gestational sac is expelled on its own. The skin will gradually heal, and abdominal pain will subside completely. If there is no cramping or expulsion of the gestational sac after taking the medication, it may indicate a successful medical abortion. In such cases, a uterine procedure may be required to address the situation.
