Why is nausea persisting after taking abortion medication?

Nausea can continue for a few days after taking abortion medication because the pregnancy hormones take some time to reduce completely. The medicines used for medical abortion may also cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, weakness, stomach cramps, or loose motions in some women. Usually, these symptoms improve gradually with rest, proper hydration, and light meals.

We suggest consulting a gynecologist for proper follow-up, especially if nausea is severe or continues for many days. The doctor may recommend an ultrasound or examination to confirm that the abortion process is complete and there are no complications such as infection or incomplete abortion. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience very heavy bleeding, fever, severe abdominal pain, fainting, or continuous vomiting.
