Is the success rate of medication abortion higher when the gestational sac is located to the right?

Patient's question:

Sister-in-law is pregnant, but she just had a cesarean section less than a year ago, so she doesn't want this child and plans to have a medication abortion. Is the success rate of medication abortion higher with a right-sided gestational sac?

Doctor's answer:

If the gestational sac size is appropriate, the success rate of medication abortion is relatively high, generally around 80%. It is also greatly related to individual physical condition. After medication abortion, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound. If the examination shows that the uterus is clean, then there is no problem. If residual tissue is found during the examination, and it is minimal, you can use many blood-activating drugs to regulate it. If it is large, a D&C procedure may still be required.
