How to determine if medication abortion is successful

Patient's question:

How to judge whether medication abortion is successful

Doctor's answer:

To determine whether a medication abortion is complete, pay attention to the following two points:
1. If the medication abortion is incomplete, symptoms such as nausea, aversion to greasy food, lower abdominal pain, and persistent vaginal bleeding may occur. In such cases, it is necessary to seek immediate medical attention for a gynecological examination and ultrasound.
2. An incomplete medication abortion can lead to infection. If the ultrasound indicates that there is no residual tissue in the uterus, it is important to consider an infection within the uterus, as the blood expelled during the abortion provides an excellent breeding ground for bacteria. In severe cases of incomplete medication abortion, the uterus may be tender to touch during a gynecological examination, accompanied by symptoms such as fever.
