Patient's question:

Can medication abortion be completely effective? I'm pregnant and considering a medication abortion, but is it possible for medication abortion to be incomplete?

After getting pregnant, if you choose medication abortion, it is generally possible to have a complete miscarriage. However, not everyone will have a complete miscarriage. The complete abortion rate of medication abortion can reach 95% to 98%. It is a minimally painful, simple, safe, and low-side-effect method of miscarriage, with high efficiency.
