Patient's question:
Please ask if there is a risk of incomplete medication abortion with general medication abortion, and what consequences it may lead to? First question supplement: Thank you!I know there is such a risk, but I just want to know what happens if it occurs? Please let the experts explain.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, medication abortion is suitable for early pregnancy termination within 7 weeks of pregnancy. With correct use, it generally leads to a smooth abortion. However, in some cases, incomplete abortion may occur during the process. Small residual tissues can be treated with blood-activating and blood-resolving drugs to promote their expulsion. If the residual tissues are larger, a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure can be performed. However, this is relatively simpler and causes less pain compared to a direct abortion surgery.
