How long should I wait to have an ultrasound check after medical abortion?

The so-called medical abortion refers to a method clinically adopted by women who want to terminate their pregnancy. To put it simply, it is a method of terminating pregnancy by taking certain drugs. It is very convenient to operate. After the fetus dies, it will be directly discharged from the woman's body. This means that medical abortion may not be complete sometimes. So, how long after medical abortion should I check the B-ultrasound again?

Medical abortion is suitable for pregnancy within 49 days. After taking medical abortion pills, there will generally be symptoms of vaginal bleeding lasting about a week, which will be more than normal menstrual flow. According to your current situation, if the gestational sac has been expelled, you can observe it for a few days. After a week, you can go to the hospital for a color ultrasound examination to see whether the uterine cavity has been cleared.
