How to know if the medication abortion is complete?

Patient's question:

I found out recently that I accidentally got pregnant and wanted to have a medication abortion. How can I know if the medication abortion is clean?

Doctor's answer:

After medication abortion, bleeding usually occurs about one week later. If the bleeding duration is prolonged, it may indicate retained tissue in the uterus. You should go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to check if everything has been expelled. If there is no bleeding for several days after the abortion, it is likely that the miscarriage is complete.
In the first month after abortion, it is important to rest and avoid exposure to cold. Do not consume extremely cold, hard, or spicy foods. Avoid sexual intercourse for the first month and take oral antibiotics to prevent infection.
