Is it okay to not have a D&C after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I am pregnant, and since I am still studying, I plan to have a medication abortion. Hello, can I have a medication abortion without a D&C procedure afterward?

Doctor's answer:

It is not acceptable to skip a uterine clearance after medication abortion. It is beneficial for the body's complete recovery and may also interfere with future pregnancy. Generally, a uterine clearance is required. Carefully observe the condition of the bleeding and confirm that the gestational sac has completely expelled from the body before starting anti-inflammatory treatment. Take anti-inflammatory medications and mung bean herb to promote uterine contraction and expel blood stasis. Rest well, keep the abdomen warm, and this will help in the body's complete recovery.
