Patient's question:
I had a medication abortion with my ex-boyfriend, and now I'm going to have an ultrasound with my current boyfriend to prepare for pregnancy. I'm worried that my boyfriend will be upset to know I had a medication abortion in the past. I want to ask the doctor if the ultrasound can detect that I recently had a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a simple ultrasound examination cannot reveal whether a medication-induced abortion has been performed. During the pre-pregnancy period, women should pay close attention to getting adequate rest, consuming plenty of high-calorie, high-protein, and nutritious foods, while also developing good lifestyle habits. Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy or irritating foods. Additionally, maintain good hygiene of the external genital area to prevent secondary infections. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
