Patient's question:
Recently, a friend was carefully checked and found to be pregnant, but she wants to have a medication abortion. What are the symptoms of medication abortion? What are the harms to the body?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is generally safe and does not cause clinical symptoms. However, some individuals may experience significant bleeding after taking the medication. In addition to medication abortion being incomplete, it may lead to uterine residue, requiring further curettage treatment to remove residual tissue in the uterus and prevent gynecological infections.After taking medication for abortion, it is important to carefully monitor for any bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy, exceeding the amount of a normal menstrual period, and lasts for a long time, it is best to seek medical attention promptly at a gynecological clinic for treatment.
