Nowadays, many women undergo medical abortion after unexpected pregnancy. Women can achieve the effect of abortion by taking specific medications, which is a common method of abortion. However, some women who undergo medical abortion may still show pregnancy when tested with pregnancy test strips. So, why does medical abortion still show pregnancy?
It is common for women to show pregnancy on pregnancy test strips after medical abortion. Because pregnancy test strips determine whether a woman is pregnant by testing the HCG value in urine. The decrease in HCG levels in women's bodies after medical abortion is a process that does not immediately return to normal levels, so pregnancy may still be detected during testing.
If the pregnancy exceeds 7 weeks, medical abortion cannot be performed. Women must undergo ultrasound examination before undergoing medical abortion, which can confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy and also show the yolk sac. In addition, before medical abortion, routine tests for vaginal discharge, blood count, and coagulation should also be performed. Only when the above tests are normal can medical abortion be performed.
When taking oral abortion medication, if there is a significant amount of vaginal bleeding, such as exceeding 150ml, it is likely that a curettage surgery is needed. Everyone should be aware that medical abortion may fail, with a probability of about 10%. In this case, women also need to undergo an abortion surgery.
