Patient's question:
Doctor, after an unexpected pregnancy, I decided on medication abortion instead of surgical abortion. Hello, do I need a family member to accompany me for medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
For medication abortion, it is also a way to terminate early pregnancy. However, medication abortion is not absolutely safe, as it may lead to incomplete miscarriage, which may require a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure. Therefore, medication abortion also requires family members to accompany the patient. In case of severe bleeding again, such as when fetal tissue blocks the cervix or when fetal tissue remains and cannot be expelled, prompt D&C treatment is necessary.
