How long does it take to recover after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. How long does it take to recover after taking medication for an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

It is best to consider a conventional surgical procedure for abortion. Medical abortion can lead to incomplete miscarriage and cause heavy bleeding. Painless abortion can easily result in uterine perforation. It is recommended to undergo a hysteroscopic-guided dilatation and curettage (D&C) procedure, as there are no residual tissues post-surgery, thus preventing heavy bleeding and making it the safest method for abortion.
If there is still vaginal bleeding after the procedure, it is important to avoid sitting baths or vaginal irrigation to prevent infection and complications.
