Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? How can I minimize the harm? What should I pay attention to when taking medication for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
When using medication for abortion, pay attention to the following points:① Carefully observe the blood clots and tissue matter discharged from the vagina and retain all of them. Send them to the hospital promptly for the doctor to examine whether they are pregnancy-related products to determine if the abortion is complete.
② Within 10 to 15 days after medication abortion, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up check. If necessary, undergo an ultrasound examination or a urine pregnancy test to determine the effectiveness of the abortion.
③ If the abortion has not occurred within one week after taking the medication, or if vaginal bleeding significantly increases around 10 days, or if vaginal bleeding persists for more than 3 weeks, you should promptly go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check for any residual tissue in the uterine cavity.
④ If vaginal bleeding becomes cloudy, smells foul, and is accompanied by low fever, chills, and lower abdominal pain, it indicates an infection. Seek medical attention immediately.
⑤ After medication abortion, avoid sexual intercourse, vaginal douching, bathing, and swimming for one month.
