Previously, the medication abortion was not complete. Will medication abortion be effective in the future?

Patient's question:

Previously, the medication abortion was not complete. Is it that medication abortions in the future will not be effective?

Doctor's answer:

If it is diagnosed that the medication abortion is not complete, you can try using medication again to contract the uterus and expel the remaining tissue. However, if it still cannot be expelled, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) surgery must be performed. Otherwise, the remaining pregnancy tissue in the uterus can lead to serious consequences such as infection, bleeding, and infertility, severely threatening reproductive health. It may also affect future fertility, and in extreme cases, it could even be life-threatening. If it is not clean within fifteen days, a D&C is necessary. At this point, it is recommended to communicate in detail with the attending physician.
