Is incomplete medication abortion common?

Patient's question:

What is the probability of incomplete medication abortion? First follow-up question: What are the main causes of incomplete abortion? Can a D&C be done in one session if necessary? Is a D&C very painful?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, medication abortion is suitable for pregnancy within 49 days, calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. A B must be performed before medication abortion to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy before taking the medication. There is a possibility of incomplete medication abortion, although the chance is relatively small. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion procedure can have some impact on a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to post-procedure care and health maintenance. Patients undergoing abortion should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding contact with cold water.
