Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm pregnant and don't want an abortion, I want medication abortion, but the nurse said my gestational sac is too small. Can't medication abortion be done if the gestational sac is too small?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if you want to undergo medication-induced abortion, the gestational sac needs to grow to 1.0mm or larger. Medication-induced abortion may lead to incomplete miscarriage, requiring a second dilation and curettage (D&C) to resolve the issue. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a formal painless abortion, as this minimizes mental trauma for the woman and promotes quicker recovery. After the abortion, it is important to rest and avoid overexertion. In daily life, it is essential to maintain a positive mood, as a good attitude greatly helps in the recovery process.
