Patient's question:
After taking medication for an abortion, if it's not completely effective, what are the potential aftereffects? Besides a D&C procedure, are there any other methods available? Can a D&C procedure be performed with anesthesia?Doctor's answer:
If the pregnancy duration does not exceed 49 days, it can be terminated through methods such as induced abortion or medication abortion. Generally, induced abortion causes more trauma to the uterus, while medication abortion causes relatively less trauma. However, medication abortion may not be completely effective, and if it is not, a follow-up procedure may be necessary to clear the uterus.It is recommended that you rest for 2 weeks after the procedure, avoid catching colds or getting sick, eat nutritious foods to help your body recover quickly, and maintain good hygiene in the external genital area. Wash with warm water 1-2 times a day.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
