Can medical abortion lead to a clean abortion? There are generally three types of abortion effects after medical abortion

For pregnancies within 50 days, medical abortion can be used. Medical abortion causes less trauma to the uterus, recovers quickly, and is inexpensive, but its disadvantage is that there is a possibility that the abortion is not clean, and another uterine curettage is required. Artificial abortion causes greater trauma to the uterus and is expensive, but the possibility of an incomplete abortion is relatively low, so you can make a decision after a comprehensive evaluation.

As a new type of abortion technology, medical abortion does not require hospitalization or intrauterine operation, and achieves the purpose of abortion through medication. Although the abortion process is simple and cheap, there is a certain risk in the success rate of abortion. Pregnant women are most worried about the harm caused by incomplete medical abortion. So, can medical abortion be clean?
Experts remind women that although medical abortion is convenient, it has strict indications and requirements. Not everyone is suitable for medical abortion. Medical abortion is only suitable for early pregnant women within 49 days of pregnancy. If it exceeds this time, the probability of incomplete abortion will increase. In clinical practice, there are generally three types of abortion effects after medical abortion.
Complete abortion <br/>You will be observed in the hospital for a period of time after taking the medicine. If the gestational sac is not expelled within a few hours after taking the medicine, you can go home for observation. When you feel that the gestational sac is expelled or no gestational sac tissue is seen, but no gestational sac tissue is seen after B-ultrasound, blood test or urine test, it can be determined that the abortion is complete. In the case of a clean abortion, vaginal bleeding usually ends in about 3-5 days, and menstruation comes again one month after the abortion. This is a complete abortion.
Incomplete abortion <br/>If no embryonic tissue is seen flowing out after taking the medicine, and after a follow-up examination after the medical abortion, B-ultrasound shows that there is still embryonic tissue in the uterus, or during the follow-up examination, there is excessive bleeding and the bleeding time is too long, and after blood tests or urine tests, the results have not obviously turned negative, it should be suspected that the abortion is not clean. This situation is called incomplete abortion or unclean abortion. When the abortion is not clean, a uterine curettage operation is required.
Failure of medical abortion <br/>Within 8 days after taking the medicine, no product of pregnancy is discharged. After B-ultrasound examination, a complete gestational sac or embryonic bud and fetal heartbeat can be seen in the uterine cavity. This situation is caused by failure of medical abortion. When medical abortion fails, another artificial abortion is needed to terminate the pregnancy.
Because of the defects of medical abortion, with the development of medical technology, medical abortion has gradually been replaced by painless abortion. It is recommended that women should consider comprehensively and choose the appropriate abortion method according to their own situation when choosing the abortion method, so as to avoid secondary abortion surgery due to incomplete medical abortion. However, the success of medical abortion depends on the patient's physical fitness and cannot be generalized. If you are worried about incomplete abortion, you can choose painless abortion to terminate the pregnancy.
