How long after receiving an abortion injection does the abortion occur?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. How long does it take to expel it after taking the abortion injection?

Doctor's answer:

From the time of medication to fetal expulsion, it takes about 36 hours on average. If there is an external protrusion of the fetal membrane before the fetus is delivered, do not rupture the membrane to allow the fetal membrane to expand the birth canal, which facilitates fetal expulsion. Induction of labor is similar in impact to normal delivery, so the bleeding time may be longer. If the bleeding is not significant, you can wait for two more days and pay attention to post-abortion care. Induction of labor is actually more physically taxing than normal delivery.
