Patient's question:
Previous treatment and effectiveness: I went to the hospital, and the doctor recommended medication abortion and instructed me to take three tablets of mifepristone every night. Two days later, I was scheduled for a prenatal check-up. Yesterday, after taking three tablets of mifepristone, I didn't experience any adverse reactions. But today, while using the restroom, I noticed the discharge of a pale yellow, jelly-like substance. Is this a normal reaction?What kind of assistance is needed: I want to know if this indicates that the medication is working? Will the miscarriage be successful?
Doctor's answer:
After taking medication, there may be vaginal bleeding. During the period of bleeding, pay attention to whether an embryo is expelled (a meat-like cluster, about the size of a finger, a complete gestational sac can be seen). After the embryo is expelled, there may be about 1-3 weeks of bleeding. If the bleeding lasts too long, the bleeding increases and continues to grow, the vaginal discharge has a bad odor, or abdominal pain worsens, or you have a fever with no clear cause, you should go to the hospital for follow-up immediately. Rest for these two days. Do not have sex for one month after a miscarriage.
