The abdomen feels bloated after medical abortion without expelling the gestational sac

Generally speaking, after taking the abortion pill, the gestational sac will be discharged smoothly within a few hours. If the gestational sac is not discharged, and you feel symptoms of abdominal distension at this time, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. It may also be a case of failed medical abortion. If this is the case, you should undergo an abortion operation immediately. Improper medical abortion can cause great harm to women, so it is necessary to go to a regular hospital during the period of medical abortion.

According to your description, if the gestational sac has not come out after taking the abortion medicine for three days, it means that the medicine is ineffective. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound immediately. If it is not completely discharged, it is recommended to have an abortion operation immediately, otherwise it will be ineffective and the fetus will continue to grow.

What medicine can cause abortion?

Medical abortion, also known as "medical abortion", refers to the oral administration of medication to expel embryonic tissue and achieve the purpose of terminating pregnancy. It is currently mainly used to terminate intrauterine pregnancies within 7 weeks (49 days). Medical abortion is suitable for women up to 40 years of age. Although medical abortion has the advantages of being simple, effective and non-invasive, it also has certain risks and may cause heavy bleeding, sudden cardiovascular disease, etc. Therefore, it must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

Currently, the most commonly used abortion drug is mifepristone (Ru 486) combined with prostaglandins. But medical abortion has relatively serious side effects. Since the drug itself is a hormone, it will affect the body's own hormone levels, causing hormone disorders and may cause menstrual irregularities. The biggest side effect is that it can easily lead to incomplete miscarriage, requiring uterine curettage, or cause secondary infertility.

How to take abortion pills

Mifepristone tablets and misoprostol tablets are commonly used drugs for abortion. How to take these two abortion pills?

On an empty stomach or 2 hours after eating, take one 25mg mifepristone tablet orally, once in the morning and once in the evening for a total of three days. On the morning of the fourth day, take 600ug misoprostol tablets orally (200ug/tablet × 3 tablets).

Generally, the embryonic sac in the uterine cavity can be discharged about 2-3 days after the use of mifepristone tablets and misoprostol tablets, while the decidual tissue in the uterus often takes about 2 weeks to be slowly discharged.
