Patient's question:
I will have an abortion in a few days, and I don't want a D&C. Can an abortion without a D&C be complete?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after getting pregnant, I don't want to have a child and decided to take medication for an abortion. Because there are many drawbacks to medication abortion, it may lead to vaginal leakage and skin breakdown again, or there may be residual tissue in the uterine cavity. This must be observed after taking the medication. If the abortion is complete, there is no need for a D&C procedure. However, if residual tissue is found in the uterine cavity after a period of time, it is necessary to have a D&C procedure promptly for safety. This requires a careful observation period after taking the medication before a decision can be made.
