Patient's question:
What is the process of uterine clearance after medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed that the gestational sac has been completely expelled after medication abortion, it may be considered to avoid dilation and curettage (D&C) and observe for 7-10 days. If bleeding continues, a follow-up ultrasound should be performed to determine whether a D&C is necessary. However, if bleeding is heavy, it should be performed promptly to prevent residual tissue from causing severe bleeding. You can have an ultrasound done. If the expulsion is already clean, use some medication to promote uterine contractions. There is no need for a D&C.
