Patient's question:
What should be done if a medication abortion is incomplete?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is largely unable to be completely cleared, and most of the time, a follow-up D&C (dilation and curettage) surgery is required after medication abortion.Medication abortion is only an option for pregnancies within 49 days. It avoids the pain of surgical abortion, which is a key difference between medication abortion and surgical abortion. However, there are also some drawbacks. Medication abortion may not be completely effective, meaning the embryo may not be expelled in one go, leading to residual tissue. This would require a second D&C procedure.
For your situation, it is recommended to choose a regular third-class hospital in your area for thorough treatment to ensure a speedy recovery.
