How long does it take to expel the gestational sac after medical abortion? What should you pay attention to after expelling the gestational sac?

Generally speaking, if a woman expels the gestational sac within 6 hours of taking the medication or on the same day, it is considered a normal expulsion time. However, if the gestational sac is still not expelled within three days after taking the medication at home, then it is considered an abnormal expulsion time and a uterine curettage is required. At the same time, within two weeks after the gestational sac is expelled by medication, women also need to go to the hospital regularly for color Doppler ultrasound examinations.

With the development of medical technology, there are more and more abortion methods available to women, and some women choose to terminate pregnancy by medical abortion for convenience. However, some women do not know some common knowledge about medical abortion, so they have some doubts about medical abortion, such as how long it takes to expel the gestational sac?
1. How long does it take to expel the gestational sac after medical abortion?
1. Normal discharge time <br/>Generally speaking, it is normal to discharge the gestational sac within 6 hours of taking the medicine. Currently, the two drugs mainly used for medical abortion are mifepristone tablets and misoprostol tablets. Women are first required to take mifepristone tablets orally, and then take misoprostol tablets.
Normally, the gestational sac should be expelled within 6 hours after taking misoprostol tablets. If the gestational sac is not expelled within 6 hours, misoprostol tablets can be taken again to speed up the expulsion of the gestational sac. The gestational sac can be expelled around the day of medical abortion, which is a normal time.
2. Abnormal expulsion time <br/>According to relevant medical data, the longer it takes to expel the gestational sac through medical abortion, the smaller the chance of expelling the gestational sac later. If the gestational sac is still not expelled on the same day after taking the drug misoprostol tablets at home, then women should pay attention to themselves. So in general, if the gestational sac is not expelled on the day of medical abortion, it is considered an abnormal expulsion time. If the gestational sac is not expelled within three days, you need to go to the hospital immediately for a uterine curettage to remove the gestational sac.
2. Precautions after medical abortion to expel the gestational sac <br/>After expelling the gestational sac from the body through medical abortion, women need to go to the hospital for regular color Doppler ultrasound examinations two weeks later to check whether the uterus has been completely expelled and whether there are any residues. If the residue is small, you can continue to use drugs to promote expulsion. If the residue is large, it is generally recommended to perform uterine curettage.
