Patient's question:
My girlfriend accidentally got pregnant, but now we are not planning to have a child. Hello, is it necessary to have a uterine clearance after medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
It's not necessary to have a uterine clearance after medication-induced abortion. If the current pregnancy duration is still short, within 7 weeks, most people can have a complete miscarriage. Only a small portion of individuals may require a uterine clearance if the medication-induced abortion is not complete. In this case, you can wait and see. If the vaginal bleeding stops within about a week after taking the medication, it generally indicates that the miscarriage is complete. If it doesn't stop, you should have an ultrasound performed. Only if residual tissue is found will a uterine clearance be necessary.
