After undergoing an abortion procedure, patients may experience mild pain in the initial days and vaginal bleeding resembling menstruation for 3–7 days. It is important to monitor for worsening abdominal pain or abnormal bleeding.

After terminating a pregnancy via various ways, the "2 lines" phenomenon may persist due to the body's hormones and pregnancy tests continue to produce positive results.

A 4-month pregnancy corresponds to 16 weeks. According to experts, a 16-week pregnancy can still be terminated. However, at this stage, the fetus has developed comprehensively in almost every aspect. Therefore, doctors usually advise pregnant women to continue the pregnancy unless there are cases of fetal abnormalities or maternal health issues that warrant consideration.

As one of the safe medical abortion methods, emergency contraceptive pills interrupt the continuation of the natural pregnancy process without surgery.

Vacuum aspiration is a highly safe abortion method compared to many other abortion methods for pregnancies under 12 weeks of gestation. However, vacuum aspiration still carries a potential risk of complications, and it is important to consult a doctor.
