Telehealth ‘safe and effective’ for medical abortion follow-up, Aussie doctors find
The use of 'less invasive' tests to confirm termination of pregnancy will make follow-up easier for doctors and patients alike, says Dr Heather McNamee.
Patients who undergo early medical abortion can be safely managed with telehealth and an at-home low-sensitivity urine test during follow-up, an Australian study shows.
Doctors from MSI Australia found that 91% of women who underwent the new protocol did not require “unnecessary” in-clinic appointments after receiving MS-2 Step (mifepristone and misoprostol).
