Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery before, and the doctor said there might be remnants, so I need to take misoprostol for several days. Will there be side effects if I only take misoprostol for incomplete medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Incomplete miscarriage does not necessarily require mifepristone. Generally, the side effects are relatively small, as long as it is not used for a long time or in high doses, there is no major issue. Normal liver function and renal function tests are sufficient. However, during medication, it is necessary to pay close attention to the vaginal bleeding. If there is abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or fever, it is important to return to the hospital for follow-up promptly. If necessary, a uterine evacuation may be required. Appropriate exercise and periodic follow-up tests should be conducted.
