Patient's question:
Hello, is it necessary to have a D&C if the medication abortion is not complete? I had an ultrasound, and the doctor said it wasn't complete.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the medication abortion is not complete, you can try using medication to contract the uterus again to expel the remaining tissue. However, if it still cannot be expelled, a D&C (dilation and curettage) surgery must be performed. Otherwise, leaving tissue in the uterus can lead to serious consequences such as infection, heavy bleeding, and infertility, severely threatening reproductive health. Generally, if it has not been cleared within 15 days, a D&C should be considered.
