How many days does it take for the medication to work?

Unexpected pregnancy is a very distressing time for some women. Many women choose to give up their children because they are not prepared in life and psychologically. As for the method of abortion, many women have recently chosen medical abortion. However, many women do not know how many days it takes for medical abortion to work. Let's take a look at it now.

Medical abortion (abbreviated as medical abortion) is the use of the anti-early pregnancy drugs mifepristone and misoprostol to terminate pregnancy. When a woman becomes pregnant, her body produces a hormone called progesterone, which is a necessary factor in maintaining pregnancy. Mifepristone can bind to the progesterone receptors in the body, reducing the activity of progesterone in the body. Once the body lacks progesterone, it will cause miscarriage. Misoprostol can cause the uterus to contract strongly, forcing the pregnancy tissue out of the body.

N misunderstandings about medical abortion

Medical abortion is just like a cold. Just take a few pills and lie down at home.

Medical abortion is definitely not like a cold. Before taking the medicine, you should undergo a formal urine test and B-ultrasound examination to make sure that the conditions for medical abortion are met. You should rest at home while taking the medicine. You must be hospitalized for observation on the fourth day of taking the medicine, and you must repeat the urine test and B-ultrasound after one week.

Even if you don’t take medicine at home, you can just go to a small clinic.

Medical abortion should be sought in a regular hospital with certain medical conditions and standardized diagnosis and treatment. The doctors in these hospitals are more experienced and can determine whether the pregnancy tissue has been expelled. They can also try to help you solve various problems during the abortion process, such as whether a uterine curettage is needed.

Medical abortion is definitely better than surgical abortion and is definitely the first choice.

Compared with surgical abortion, medical abortion is a simple and less invasive method, but it is not suitable for everyone. Medical abortion can only be performed on pregnant women who are within 49 days of amenorrhea, between the ages of 18 and 35, have no history of chronic diseases or allergic asthma, are not pregnant with an IUD, have been confirmed to be positive by B-ultrasound and urine pregnancy test, and have not received glucocorticoid treatment in the past 3 months.

Medical abortion is not as easy as people imagine. In addition to the most common abdominal pain, half of the people will experience nausea and vomiting, and a few will experience dizziness, fatigue, chills, fever, numbness in the hands and feet, and even diarrhea. Moreover, the heavy bleeding and long bleeding time after medical abortion will make you feel very troubled.

Medical abortion does not require surgery, so you can go back to work immediately.

Medical abortion uses drugs to force the pregnancy tissue to separate from the uterus, so there is also trauma to the uterus. Therefore, you need to rest for two weeks after the abortion to ensure the full recovery of the uterus.

After taking the medicine, it will be discharged on the fourth day.

Misoprostol, a drug that promotes uterine contractions, is taken on the fourth day, and most people pass the pregnancy tissue on this day. But there are also many people who have delayed excretion, some for two or three days, and some even for one to two weeks.

If bleeding lasts for more than three weeks, uterine curettage is necessary.

When it comes to the Qing Palace, my heart starts to hang in my chest. This is indeed a troublesome issue. However, there is currently no clear standard in the medical community as to when uterine curettage is necessary. However, continuous bleeding can easily cause infection and anemia, which is very harmful to the body. Therefore, the doctor will consider whether uterine curettage is needed based on the individual's specific situation. Three weeks is not an absolute indicator.

From the above introduction, we can see that medical abortion usually takes about four or five days. In addition, women should pay special attention to the fact that we must pay close attention to our physical condition during the medical abortion period.
