Patient's question:
Can the doctor prescribe medication for at-home oral use after medication abortion? What should be done after medication abortion? Is it necessary to have a uterine clearance?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is not recommended to take medication for an abortion at home because if the procedure is mishandled, it may lead to incomplete miscarriage, resulting in secondary harm and the need for a uterine clearance procedure. There is also a risk of excessive bleeding. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo medication abortion under the guidance of a doctor in a hospital. Usually, if the miscarriage is complete, a uterine clearance procedure is not necessary. Post-procedure care and recovery should be focused on.
