What are the symptoms of medical abortion? What is the difference between the symptoms of successful and failed medical abortion?

The gestational sac tissue will be discharged 2 to 6 hours after medical abortion. During this period, a small amount of vaginal bleeding will occur, but the time of discharge varies from person to person, which is normal. If the abortion is incomplete, there will be severe abdominal pain, prolonged bleeding, uterine tenderness, fever and other symptoms. Some women will also experience nausea and aversion to greasy food, which requires going to the hospital for a uterine curettage as soon as possible.

For some women who have an unexpected pregnancy, if they are not ready to have a baby, they will choose abortion. Medical abortion is a relatively simple method. This method can terminate the pregnancy without intrauterine surgery. If it is the first time to have a medical abortion, usually the symptoms of successful and failed medical abortion are not well understood. So what are the symptoms of medical abortion?
1. Normal symptoms after medical abortion <br/>Medical abortion generally uses two drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, which need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor. There will be a relatively large reaction after taking misoprostol, mainly because the drug can strengthen the contraction of the uterus, so that the embryo will flow out easily, and the gestational sac tissue will usually be discharged in 2 to 6 hours. There will also be a small amount of vaginal bleeding at the same time, and the time of discharge varies from person to person. Some people may experience lower abdominal distension and pain and gestational sac discharge half an hour after taking the medicine; while some people may need 4 to 5 hours to show these clinical symptoms, which are all normal phenomena.
2. Symptoms of incomplete medical abortion
1. Abdominal pain <br/>If you experience abdominal pain after the abortion, it means that the abortion was not complete. This is also one of the typical symptoms. If this happens, you need to go to the hospital for examination immediately. If it is confirmed that the lower abdominal pain is caused by incomplete abortion, you should perform a uterine curettage in a timely manner.
2. Long bleeding time <br/>If the abortion is not completely induced by medical abortion, vaginal bleeding will occur. Generally, there will be no bleeding within one week after the abortion. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after the abortion, and the amount of bleeding gradually increases, it is very likely that the abortion was not completely induced by medical abortion.
3. Uterine tenderness and fever <br/>When the medical abortion is incomplete, the uterus will have tenderness and fever, which is because the bleeding time of the medical abortion is too long. The blood from the abortion is easy to breed bacteria, and the cervix is ​​in a relaxed state for a long time, which is easy to be invaded by bacteria, leading to infection. The main symptom is abnormal leucorrhea.
4. Nausea and aversion to greasy food <br/>Some women will experience nausea and aversion to greasy food after medical abortion, and may even feel nauseous all the time. This is mainly caused by incomplete abortion. If this continues for a long time, not only will the appetite decrease, the body will also consume too much energy, and anemia may also occur.
