What are the general differences between menstruation and miscarriage?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. What are the general differences between menstruation and abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Early pregnancy miscarriage and menstruation show no obvious differences, and a blood HCG test is required for confirmation.
1. The blood flow in natural miscarriage is usually light, requiring only a pad, while menstrual blood flow is relatively heavier, requiring sanitary pads. Generally, a positive result will appear one month after medication abortion, and it typically disappears one month later. This does not necessarily indicate a failure of medication abortion. A follow-up ultrasound after one week can rule out the possibility of uterine contractions or residual tissue.
