Patient's question:
Hello, is it painful to have a uterine clearance after taking medication for an abortion? I am 25 years old and have never done this before, so I wanted to ask for a few understandings.Doctor's answer:
After medication-induced abortion, a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure is performed, which is very painful. The purpose of the D&C is to completely remove any remaining fetal tissue from the uterus after medication-induced abortion. This process is similar to surgical abortion, and the level of pain is manageable. However, there are no other effective methods available to address this issue, so a D&C is necessary. The above information can serve as a reference.
