Female friends who experience unexpected pregnancy often resort to medical abortion to terminate the pregnancy. However, after taking the medication, it is also necessary to ensure that the pregnancy tissue in the uterine cavity can be completely expelled in order to indicate a successful medical abortion. So, how do we know if the gestational sac has been expelled?
1. When a woman with an unexpected pregnancy terminates the pregnancy using medication abortion, two methods can be used to determine whether the gestational sac has been expelled. One of them can be visually inspected to see if the gestational sac has been expelled. When there is abdominal pain and bleeding, it is necessary to observe whether there is a gestational sac in the discharge. Normal gestational sacs have chorionic villi, and the discharge can be washed with flowing water. If white or furry material is found in the villi, it can be determined as a discharged gestational sac.
2. Another method for women to check for gestational sac discharge after medical abortion is to go to the hospital for ultrasound examination to determine if there is still a gestational sac or residual tissue in the uterine cavity. If the uterine cavity is found to be relatively clean, it can also be confirmed that the gestational sac has been discharged. If residual or uncleared gestational sac is found, further treatment is required.
3. In addition, women who experience unintended pregnancy should first seek medical examination at a hospital to determine if there are indications before undergoing medical abortion. Due to prolonged pregnancy or physical reasons, some women may not be able to undergo medical abortion. Blindly using medical abortion may increase the risk, so it is also necessary to use it under the guidance of a doctor to avoid the unexpected risks of medical abortion.
