Patient's question:
I am 18 years old this year. Accidentally, I got pregnant without breastfeeding while I was with my boyfriend, but I had to have an abortion. How long does it take for the fetus to be expelled if it is aborted using medication?Doctor's answer:
Through medication abortion, it is essential that the pregnancy is relatively early for success. Generally, fetal expulsion occurs within 48 to 72 hours, but it may be accompanied by intense pain. After the products are expelled, it is crucial to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to ensure that the fetus is completely removed. If it is not fully expelled, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be necessary to minimize harm to the body. Pay attention to keeping warm and maintain a light diet.
