What should I do if the medication abortion fails?

Patient's question:

I had a medication abortion two and a half months ago, but it failed. Now the baby is four and a half months old, and I can clearly feel fetal movements. I want to ask if my baby will be healthy if it's born. This is the ultrasound report from when I was 16 weeks pregnant. Could you please take a look and see if the baby is normal?

Doctor's answer:

Need to go to the hospital for an abortion treatment. After the abortion, two weeks of rest are recommended. Intense physical activities and heavy mental work are not suitable. Avoid taking baths or swimming within one month after the surgery. Do not consume ginseng, deer horn, etc. Post-surgery, the body's resistance decreases, so it is important to maintain local hygiene to prevent infection. In fact, under normal circumstances, any method of abortion can cause certain damage to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Abortion patients should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
