Patient's question:
Medical history: I had a medication abortion yesterday. Since last night, the bleeding has been very light, and I've also been experiencing some abdominal bloating and mild lower back pain. Is this normal?Past treatment history and effectiveness: I have never had a medication abortion before.
Desired help: I just want to know if my current symptoms are normal.
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Medical abortion, also known as medication-induced abortion, uses hormone-based drugs to stimulate the uterus, causing the gestational sac to detach and then be expelled from the uterine cavity normally. Therefore, there is a risk of incomplete abortion or uterine infection. The medical abortion process takes three days. You need to wait for three days after completing the medication before going to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check if the gestational sac has been completely expelled. If you experience minimal bleeding after taking the medication, the failure rate is likely to be higher.
