Patient's question:
I am a graduate student, not too sick but not perfectly healthy either. I haven't experienced any adverse reactions. Recently, I accidentally got pregnant. Since I hadn't reached the three-month mark, I didn't have an abortion but decided to go for medication abortion. However, after the medication abortion, I experienced bleeding. Previously, I didn't know if the gestational sac had been expelled. What's going on? Is it possible that the gestational sac hasn't been expelled?Doctor's answer:
After medication abortion, most women will experience visible bleeding again. At the same time, pay close attention to observe whether the gestational sac can be expelled. If you do not see the gestational sac being expelled, it is generally necessary to undergo an ultrasound examination to determine if the miscarriage was successful. If the bleeding duration is prolonged or the amount of bleeding is significant, there is a possibility of incomplete miscarriage. In such cases, it is usually necessary to undergo an ultrasound examination for a definitive diagnosis, and if necessary, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be required.
