What will happen if I can't see the gestational sac?

Many unmarried pregnant women choose to have an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy. It is generally believed that if they are not ready to be a mother, the sooner the better. However, the gestational sac can usually be clearly seen after 6 weeks of pregnancy. If the gestational sac cannot be seen on the ultrasound, do I need to have a medical abortion? What will happen if I have a medical abortion if the gestational sac cannot be seen? Let's find out with the editor below.

Should I have a medical abortion if I can't see the gestational sac on ultrasound? What will happen if I can't see the gestational sac?

Generally, the gestational sac is seen at 6 weeks of pregnancy. If the gestational sac is not seen, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a normal intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. If it is an intrauterine pregnancy, medical abortion can be performed, but if it is an ectopic pregnancy, medical abortion will be risky. In addition, the specific size of the gestational sac will also affect medical abortion. Therefore, it is still necessary to check clearly before making a cautious decision.

Common questions before medical abortion

1. Perform B-ultrasound examination before medical abortion to rule out ectopic pregnancy and understand the size and location of the gestational sac to help determine whether medical abortion is appropriate.

2. Medical abortion must be for pregnant women within 50 days of amenorrhea and under the age of 34.

3. Good health status, no contraindications. To put it simply, contraindications include: past or current serious systemic diseases, liver and kidney dysfunction, allergic constitution, heart disease, hypertension, anemia, asthma, glaucoma, skin itching during pregnancy, etc.

4. Medical abortion should be carried out in a hospital with outpatient treatment, curettage and intravenous drip facilities, and more frequent observation should be carried out to prevent accidents.

The above is the editor’s summary of relevant information on the question of whether medical abortion is necessary if the gestational sac cannot be seen on ultrasound. I hope it can help everyone. Generally, medical abortion is chosen within the first 50 days of pregnancy, but it must be carried out after a normal intrauterine pregnancy. However, if the pregnancy period exceeds 50 days, the more appropriate abortion method should be determined based on the actual size of the gestational sac.
