First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at two ways to manage leftover tissue in the womb after a first-trimester medical abortion: giving a drug called misoprostol or simply waiting. About 150 women aged 18-45 with ultrasound-confirmed retained tissue will be randomly assigned to one of these approaches. The goal is to see which method works better at clearing the tissue and avoiding the need for a surgical procedure.
