Patient's question:

How to judge whether medication abortion is successful

Doctor's answer:

To determine whether medication abortion is complete, pay attention to the following two points:
1. If medication abortion is incomplete, symptoms such as nausea, aversion to greasy food, lower abdominal pain, and persistent vaginal bleeding may occur. In such cases, it is necessary to seek immediate medical attention for a gynecological examination and ultrasound.
2. Incomplete medication abortion can lead to infection. If the ultrasound confirms no residual tissue in the uterus, it is important to consider uterine infection, as the blood from the miscarriage provides an excellent breeding ground for bacteria. In severe cases of incomplete medication abortion, a gynecological examination may reveal uterine tenderness, accompanied by symptoms such as fever.
