Patient's question:
Currently in college, but accidentally got pregnant with my boyfriend. I had to undergo medication abortion. It has been 40 days since the medication abortion, but my period still hasn't come. What's going on? Is it because it wasn't completely cleaned out, or is this month's period abnormal? It is said that medication abortion doesn't always ensure complete removal.Doctor's answer:
Medication-induced abortion can alter a woman's uterine lining, potentially causing menstrual irregularities. Currently, if there are no symptoms such as abdominal pain or bleeding, it is recommended to wait and see for now. Generally, after a medication-induced abortion, it is advisable to undergo a follow-up ultrasound to check for incomplete miscarriage. If incomplete miscarriage is detected, further treatment such as a D&C procedure may be necessary. Finally, we wish you a speedy recovery.
