Patient's question:
I had an abortion before and it made me very sad. Now I'm pregnant and want to have a medication abortion. Is it effective?Doctor's answer:
The success rate of medication abortion can reach over 90%, but there is also a possibility of incomplete miscarriage for less than 10% of women. Therefore, medication abortion may lead to the possibility of incomplete miscarriage again. If there is a significant amount of residual tissue in the uterine cavity, a procedure called Dilation and Curettage (D&C) may be performed. If D&C is chosen, it is generally similar to a surgical abortion. You will need to go to the hospital, and based on the duration of pregnancy, a detailed ultrasound examination will be conducted. Under the guidance of a doctor, the appropriate method of miscarriage will be determined.
