Patient's question:
My girlfriend had a medication abortion last week, but this week she's still vomiting like she's pregnant. What should I do if she still shows signs of pregnancy after the medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
After taking medication for abortion, although the embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity has been cleared, the hormone levels may not return to normal in the short term. Therefore, it is possible to experience the situation you described. Regarding your girlfriend's condition, the first step is to have her undergo an ultrasound examination at a local hospital to determine the success of the medication abortion. If the medication abortion is successful, there is generally no major issue, and it is advisable to carefully monitor the situation without unnecessary worry.
