Patient's question:
How long after taking medication for an abortion should you go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up? What are the main items checked during the follow-up examination at the hospital? How can you determine if you have recovered?Doctor's answer:
Sexually active women who become pregnant again and decide to have an abortion through medication is very common. In clinical diagnosis, the main procedure is a follow-up ultrasound examination one week after medication abortion to check for any residual tissue in the uterus. If the uterus gradually recovers well, there is no impact. The primary focus of the follow-up is an ultrasound examination of the uterine adnexa, in addition to blood hCG, to observe the gradual recovery and determine if the medication abortion is complete.
