Can medical abortion lead to clean abortion?

Medical abortion can be clean, but you need to pay attention to hygiene issues after the abortion and pay attention to your body's recovery. You cannot have sex or take a bath during this period. Symptoms of incomplete medical abortion include nausea, aversion to oil, and uterine infection, so a second uterine cleaning should be performed when medical abortion is not clean, otherwise it will affect the next conception and cause gynecological diseases, etc.

Symptoms of unclean drug abortion

1. Nausea and aversion to greasy food: Another typical symptom of incomplete medical abortion is nausea, aversion to greasy food, lower abdominal pain, and continuous vaginal bleeding.

2. Infection may occur if medical abortion is not clean: If the B-ultrasound shows no residue in the uterus, then infection in the uterus should be considered, because the blood from medical abortion is a good breeding ground for bacteria. If medical abortion is not clean and vomiting occurs, the situation is serious. During the gynecological examination, the uterus will be tender, and there will be symptoms such as fever.

3. Bleeding time after medical abortion: It usually manifests as lower abdominal pain and continuous vaginal bleeding. The bleeding time after medical abortion is 1-3 weeks, and the manifestation is that the amount of bleeding gradually decreases. If the bleeding decreases and then increases, or does not decrease at all or gradually increases, these are symptoms of incomplete medical abortion.

How to determine if medical abortion is clean

Experts say that the best time for medical abortion is to terminate the pregnancy within 49 days after an unexpected pregnancy. Of course, this is only a reference time for medical abortion. The specific time for medical abortion is mainly based on the results of B-ultrasound examination. Medical abortion is appropriate when the gestational sac reaches a certain size. It is not as people usually think that the earlier the medical abortion is done, the better.

For medical abortion, most hospitals require taking abortion drugs on an empty stomach for two consecutive days (the dosage is as prescribed by the doctor), and it is best to fast for 1 hour after taking the drugs. On the third morning, take another abortion drug on an empty stomach.

After taking the medicine, the adverse reactions are mild and most women do not feel anything. After taking the medicine, you can go home and work as usual. A few people may experience mild dizziness, abdominal pain, and a small amount of vaginal bleeding. After taking the second drug, about 70% of people will expel the fetal sac within 4-6 hours.

The fetal sac discharged with the blood is pink fleshy tissue, and sometimes a small blister can be seen inside it. If the fetal sac is not expelled during observation in the hospital, pay attention to vaginal discharge after returning home. At this time, special attention should be paid to distinguishing it from blood clots. After one week, you should take the discharge to the hospital for a follow-up examination. A small number of women (4%-5%) will expel the gestational sac by taking mifepristone alone. If the bleeding is not too much, you can use a clean small bottle to store and retain the discharge and take it to the hospital for examination on the third day (the day when you originally scheduled to take misoprostol). If the bleeding is heavy, you should immediately take the discharge to the hospital emergency room.
