Can a medical abortion at 2 months gestation completely terminate the pregnancy?

Generally, fetal arrest refers to the cessation of fetal development, while medical abortion refers to terminating a pregnancy using medication. If fetal development stops at two months, a medical abortion can usually effectively expel the embryo if the embryonic sac is relatively small. However, if the embryo is larger, it may not be completely expelled. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.

In early pregnancy, the embryo is relatively small and the cervix is softer, which facilitates the expulsion of embryonic tissue during medical abortion. Using a combination of medications, such as mifepristone and misoprostol, as directed by a physician, can increase the success rate. Individual physical conditions vary, as does response to medication. Some individuals may respond more favorably to the medication, resulting in a more effective medical abortion.

At two months gestation, the embryo and associated tissues are larger and may be more firmly attached to the uterine wall, increasing the likelihood of incomplete abortion with medical methods. If some residual tissue remains in the uterus after medical abortion, it may lead to prolonged bleeding or infection, which can harm the woman's health. In such cases, further intervention, such as dilation and curettage (D&C), may be necessary to remove the remaining tissue and prevent more serious complications.

Pregnant women should follow the physician's instructions for timely medication and closely monitor symptoms and bleeding during the abortion process. If necessary, a painless artificial abortion procedure may be performed.
