Patient's question:
I had a medication abortion, and my lower abdomen has become slightly larger, followed by nausea and dizziness. What could be the reason?Additional question: Besides that, there's nothing else. I just want to know what's going on?
Do I need a D&C (dilation and curettage)?
Doctor's answer:
Women will not experience abdominal enlargement in the early stages of pregnancy. Medicated abortion uses hormone drugs, the purpose of which is to stimulate the uterus to make the gestational sac detach and then normally expel from the uterine cavity. However, it can also easily lead to incomplete abortion. It is important to confirm whether the abortion was successful. Additionally, you should pay attention to rest and enhance personal hygiene. It is recommended to undergo a blood HCG test to check for the possibility of residual tissue.
