Does taking abortion medication affect the body after a pseudopregnancy?

Patient's question:

[Condition Description: On birth control, missed period for 20 days, experiencing dry heaves, nausea, and overall fatigue. Past treatment and effectiveness: Tested positive with a pregnancy test, indicating pregnancy. What kind of help do you want: What would be the effects if it's a false pregnancy and taking medication for miscarriage?]

Doctor's answer:

A positive test result on a pregnancy test indicates that you are pregnant, but false pregnancy cannot be ruled out, so further ultrasound examination will be conducted. Medical abortion is definitely associated with side effects, and after the procedure, a follow-up uterine evacuation surgery is required. This is to prevent any "materials" from remaining in your uterus, which could affect future conception. In addition to refraining from sexual activity for one month after medical abortion, you should also visit the hospital for a check-up within 1-2 weeks post-procedure to monitor the discharge of blood clots and uterine remnants. If vaginal bleeding persists or the fetal sac is not completely expelled, further surgical uterine evacuation will be necessary, otherwise it may pose a risk.
