Patient's question:
Doctor, I accidentally got pregnant with my boyfriend, but neither of us wants this child. We then had an abortion, and it was a medication abortion because it was less than 40 days into the pregnancy. Do I need to do postpartum recovery after a medication abortion at less than 40 days?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy within 40 days is suitable for medical abortion. If the medical abortion is successful, there is no need to stay at home resting for a whole month. Just rest well at home for at least one week. If conditions permit, you can focus on resting for a whole week as well. However, about a week after the miscarriage, it is better to go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to check for any remaining tissue in the uterine cavity. If everything has been cleared, you can rest assured.
