Patient's question:
Previously, I had an abortion using medication, but I found that the miscarriage wasn't very successful. What should I do if the medication abortion isn't complete?Doctor's answer:
Post-medical abortion follow-up examination shows incomplete abortion, and the choice between oral medication and direct uterine aspiration rescue should be based on the amount of residual tissue. About one week after medical abortion, a follow-up color Doppler ultrasound can be performed. The presence of residual tissue in the uterine cavity indicates incomplete medical abortion. If the residual tissue is no more than 1 cm, oral medication to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis can be used for treatment. If the residual tissue is more than 1 cm, uterine aspiration rescue is recommended to avoid severe bleeding.
