What is the difference between blood clots and gestational sacs?

Patient's question:

Is there a significant difference between the blood clot and the gestational sac? For a relatively healthy woman, what size should her gestational sac be?

Doctor's answer:

The expulsion of a gestational sac is different from blood clots. Blood clots contain residual substances within the uterus and have irregular shapes, often appearing dark purple in color. A gestational sac is generally elliptical or round, with a color similar to that of muscle tissue. The expulsion of a gestational sac is usually accompanied by a sense of awareness. You can also visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination to determine if there has been a successful miscarriage. Medication-induced abortion should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.
