After taking medication for an abortion, is a uterine clearance necessary?

Patient's question:

After taking the medication, I went for a check-up half a day later. The doctor said there was no need for a D&C. It has been a full month now. Do I still need to go for another check-up?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described, the doctor said no need for a D&C after half a month of medication abortion, indicating that the fetal tissue has been completely expelled. It doesn’t matter whether you have a follow-up check-up after a full month.
After medication abortion, pay attention to external genital hygiene, avoid tight synthetic underwear, wear pure cotton underwear with good breathability, and keep the external genital area dry. Maintain a stable mood, get adequate rest, and strengthen nutrition. Abstain from sexual activity for one month, and avoid tub baths within two weeks to prevent infection.
