How to determine if there is residual tissue after medication abortion

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. How can I judge if there is residue after taking medication for an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

It is best to consider a conventional surgical procedure for miscarriage. Medical abortion is prone to incomplete miscarriage, which can lead to severe bleeding. Painless abortion is easily likely to cause uterine perforation. It is recommended to undergo a hysteroscopic-guided curettage to remove any remaining tissue. Postoperatively, there are no residual tissues, so it does not cause severe bleeding, making it the safest method for miscarriage.
Regarding your situation, if the menstrual period has not occurred within 49 days, you can visit the hospital for medical abortion treatment. Medical abortion is convenient to use. Taking the medication is simple, and it does not require a D&C procedure, resulting in relatively less pain and a generally reliable outcome.
