Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year. I have been together with my boyfriend for about a year. Neither of us is married, but we accidentally got pregnant. I had a medication abortion. It has been a week since the medication abortion, and I haven't seen any obvious gestational sac or tissue expelled. Hello doctor, is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Considering your situation, there may be a possibility of incomplete medication abortion. If it hasn't been expelled, it could lead to excessive skin breakdown, prolonged bleeding, delayed normalization of HCG in blood and urine, or symptoms like heavy bleeding during the first menstrual period. It is necessary to undergo a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) surgery as soon as possible. If everything is normal, you should rest and avoid spicy or irritating foods, as well as avoid pelvic baths and sexual intercourse. It is recommended that you have a hospital ultrasound examination to check if the uterine cavity is clean.
