How many days after medical abortion should I have a follow-up check-up?

When a woman is pregnant and does not want the child, she should go to the hospital for an abortion in time, because this matter cannot be delayed. As the fetus continues to grow, it may not be possible to have an abortion in the later stages, otherwise the pregnant woman’s life will be in danger. Of course, if you always have abortions, it will also cause great harm to the human body. So the question is, how many days after the medical abortion should you go for a follow-up check?

In the case of medical abortion, after the gestational sac is expelled, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination about seven days later. The chance of incomplete abortion with medical abortion is relatively high. If you check early and confirm it is an incomplete abortion, you can use medication to treat it early. If you wait too long, it will easily affect the recovery of the uterus.

harm

1. Failed abortion

After 8 days of medication, the fetal sac was not expelled, and B-ultrasound examination confirmed that there was still pregnancy in the uterus. In this case, you must go to the hospital for a uterine curettage.

2. Excessive blood loss, life-threatening

Especially when the bleeding is severe and does not stop, if the uterus is not cleaned and blood transfusion is not performed in time, the chance of rescue will be lost and the life may be in danger.

3. Side effects of medical abortion

In addition to gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, prolonged bleeding and heavy bleeding are the main side effects of medical abortion. Drug treatment is ineffective, and uterine curettage is required when necessary. Medical abortion must be performed in a medical institution with regular rescue conditions. Medical abortion has strong indications. If people who buy the medicine privately do not understand these indications, or if people who are not suitable for medical abortion buy the medicine to have an abortion on their own, it is very dangerous.

General Process

1. Strict screening before medication, including asking about medical history, conducting a full physical examination and gynecological examination, and laboratory tests such as urine pregnancy test, vaginal cleanliness, Trichomonas and fungi, blood routine and blood type, and B-ultrasound examination.

2. The doctor explains in detail how to take the medication, the efficacy of the medication and possible side effects. The patient can only use the medication after he or she understands and signs.

3. Monitoring during abortion: During the hospitalization observation period, in addition to paying attention to blood pressure, pulse, and side effects of drugs, all urine and feces must be retained in a clean bedpan, and a dedicated person will check and record the presence of a gestational sac and its excretion time, the size of the gestational sac, and the amount of bleeding. If there is active bleeding before or after the expulsion of the fetal sac, uterotonics can be given or curettage can be performed immediately to stop the bleeding.

4. If tissue is discharged at home, it must be brought to the doctor for examination. If vaginal bleeding is more than normal menstrual flow, go to the hospital for treatment in time.
