Patient's question:
Medication abortion: Started medication on 6.2, the gestational sac was expelled on 6.4, follow-up on 6.10 revealed residual tissue in the uterus, started taking oxytocin for three consecutive days on 6.10. Menstruation has not yet stopped.Doctor's answer:
Hello, after a woman becomes pregnant, either a full-term delivery or an induced abortion surgery may result in intrauterine residue. It needs to be confirmed through an ultrasound examination. In your case, since the bleeding has stopped, it is highly likely that there is no residue. However, it cannot be definitively confirmed. It is recommended to have an ultrasound examination. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of induced abortion method can cause certain harm to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Patients undergoing induced abortion should take care of themselves, such as adjusting their diet appropriately, paying attention to warmth, and avoiding catching a cold.
