What should you pay attention to after taking medication for medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I accidentally got pregnant, so now I need to have a medication abortion. I'm about to take the medication. What should I pay attention to after taking the abortion pills?

Doctor's answer:

You must go to the hospital for a detailed ultrasound examination before taking medication for a medication-induced miscarriage to confirm it is an intrauterine early pregnancy. This is also very important. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, taking the medication can lead to life-threatening risks again. Third, the last dose must be taken orally at the hospital. The last three pills are Mifepristone, and some people may have allergic reactions. In addition to carefully observing the amount of vaginal bleeding and the expulsion of the embryo after taking the medication, if the embryo does not expel or there is excessive vaginal bleeding, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) may be necessary at any time. If it is expelled, you can go home and carefully observe. During this period, it is important to prevent colds. Rest well, and if there is excessive bleeding, you still need to go to the hospital immediately.
