Can you wait for the next menstrual period to pass it out?

Patient's question:

It has been one and a half months since the medication abortion, with a residual of 1.21.0. Can I wait for the next menstrual period to expel it?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the residue is no more than 1 cm, it can sometimes be expelled with the onset of menstruation or the use of blood-activating and blood-stagnation-dispelling drugs. If it is too large, a uterine curettage may be necessary. It is recommended that you choose an appropriate method based on the specific advice of your local doctor. If a uterine curettage is performed, avoid sexual intercourse and avoid tub baths within two weeks after the procedure. Take positive and reliable contraceptive measures to prevent accidental pregnancy and miscarriage, which can cause harm to your body. Get adequate rest, maintain a relaxed mindset, avoid excessive stress and fatigue, focus on a light diet, and supplement nutrition appropriately while avoiding excessive intake of cold, raw, and spicy foods.
