How long does it take for a medical abortion to be complete?

Everyone is unfamiliar with medical abortion, which is what we often call drug abortion. Generally, the best time to have a medical abortion is within 49 days after a woman's menopause. It is a method of abortion that only requires taking medicine and does not require surgical treatment. Many women are asking how long does it usually take for a medical abortion to be clean?

1. How long does it take for a medical abortion to be complete?

If a pregnant woman chooses medical abortion, the bleeding days after the gestational sac is expelled are about 16 days. If bleeding continues after more than 18 days, it may be that the decidua is not completely detached, thus affecting uterine contraction and blood circulation. Another possibility is that the gestational sac is not expelled completely, resulting in incomplete miscarriage. If there are residues after medical abortion, a uterine curettage is required, otherwise it will increase the duration of vaginal bleeding and increase the chance of infection. It may even lead to further infection, resulting in blockage of the fallopian tubes and affect future pregnancy.

2. What are the symptoms of clean medical abortion?

Generally, medical abortion is characterized by the outflow of organized blood, the bleeding time is about 1-3 weeks, and the bleeding will become less and less day by day. About 2 to 3 days after medical abortion, the fetal sac in the uterus will be discharged. At this time, vaginal bleeding will be heavier, and you may experience dizziness, nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain and other reactions. However, the decidual tissue in the uterus will usually be slowly discharged in about 2 weeks, and then the bleeding will stop. This is the symptom of a complete medical abortion. If the bleeding does not stop after a certain period of time, it is very likely that the medical abortion is not complete and you need to see a doctor immediately. Maybe a curettage is needed.

3. Common problems with medical abortion

There are also many cases. Pregnant women must go to the hospital for medical abortion. After the tissue is discharged during medical abortion, go to the hospital for cleaning for 1 hour. If the vaginal bleeding is not too much, you can go home and rest. Within 2 weeks after miscarriage, you should stay in bed and rest properly, eat more nutritious foods, and avoid doing heavy physical work. There is no need for sitz baths and sexual intercourse during medical abortion, as this is not good for women. And it is possible to quickly restore the ovulation period after abortion, so contraceptive methods must be adopted.

I hope the above introduction will be helpful to all ladies. Although medical abortion does not require surgery, it is also risky. If you find that you are pregnant unexpectedly and are not planning to have a baby, you must go to the hospital for a check-up. After checking various physical functions, it can be determined whether it is a medical abortion or a surgical abortion. After the abortion, you must pay attention to rest more and eat more nutritious foods. For the sake of their own health, everyone should still take good contraceptive measures.
