Pathologists should examine removed tissue and report any discrepancy to the physician. Early detection and diagnosis of failed abortion is necessary to avoid the more complex procedures required in later stages of pregnancy. One patient carried the fetus to term and delivered a normal infant. It blocks an important pregnancy hormone called progesterone. This results in the breakdown of the uterine lining and stopping the growth of the embryo.
The body does this by causing the uterus to contract, which leads to a similar level of cramping and bleeding as a miscarriage. The abortion pill is highly effective, but its effectiveness does decrease the further along the pregnancy is.
For example, the medication works for 94 to 98 percent of people who are 8 weeks pregnant or less. This reduces to 91 to 93 percent effectiveness for those who are between 9 and 10 weeks pregnant. A research review found no evidence of a difference between the effectiveness of medical abortions and surgical procedures. And, according to the University of California, San Francisco, only around 3 to 5 percent of people need a surgical abortion after a medical one.
Healthcare staff will check all of the above and provide clear instructions before giving you any abortion medication. Many liken the feeling of a medical abortion to an early miscarriage. Depending how far along the pregnancy is, you may pass larger tissues that are brown or red in color, and may be able to see the white pregnancy sac. Lying down with a hot-water bottle on your abdomen can help relieve any pain. Some find sitting on the toilet to be a more comfortable position.
If you need pain medication, avoid aspirin, as it can worsen bleeding. Instead, take ibuprofen Advil, Motrin. It may help to take pain medication around 30 minutes before the misoprostol. Incomplete abortions are therefore more likely if you have a termination later in the pregnancy.
However, the risks are still relatively low. Incomplete abortions are less likely to happen after a surgical termination as the doctor will have cleared out the womb contents during the procedure. However, it can still happen if any of the tissue is missed. You might have had an incomplete abortion if you notice the following symptoms after your pregnancy termination:.
If you have any signs of an incomplete abortion then it is important to contact the Healthwise clinic right away. The doctor may want to perform an ultrasound scan to confirm the diagnosis.
If you have had an incomplete abortion after taking the abortion pill then you may be able to take another dose of misoprostol to make your womb contract more. The doctor or nurse at the hospital or clinic should talk with you about contraception at the time you have the abortion.
There's a very small risk to your fertility and future pregnancies if you develop a womb infection that is not treated quickly. The infection could spread to your fallopian tubes and ovaries — known as pelvic inflammatory disease PID. PID can increase the risk of infertility or ectopic pregnancy , where an egg implants itself outside of the womb.
