Patient's question:
How long does it take for the uterine cavity to be completely cleared after medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
After medication abortion, most of the embryonic tissue is usually expelled. If a D&C (dilation and curettage) is performed postoperatively, it is a minor procedure that typically takes only a few minutes, with a maximum duration of no more than ten minutes. After the D&C procedure, it is important to rest and monitor vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding generally decreases gradually and should not exceed ten days. If it persists for less than ten days, it is necessary to return to the hospital for an ultrasound follow-up.
