How long does it take for an amniocentesis-induced abortion to occur?

Patient's question:

During prenatal testing, we experienced immense sorrow, but unfortunately, this fetus had to be miscarried. After learning about amniocentesis-induced abortion, I would like to ask how long the abortion process usually takes and what precautions should be taken after the abortion? What kind of help is needed: How long does it take for amniocentesis-induced abortion to take effect?

Doctor's answer:

Amniotic fluid aspiration abortion, irregular uterine contractions or spotting may reappear 24 hours after the procedure, with the longest duration being 72 hours. If there is no response within 72 hours, it is considered a successful abortion, and further surgery or medication may be required. It is recommended to relax and focus on post-abortion recovery, avoiding exposure to cold, maintaining a light and easily digestible diet, and taking postpartum milk-suppressing medication as prescribed by a doctor. Wishing you good health and luck!
