Is medical abortion safe?

Medical abortion is a safer way to terminate pregnancy than artificial abortion, but this method also has many precautions. First of all, it should be done within 49 days of pregnancy. Only in this way will you avoid any problems after taking the medicine. Also, be careful not to get pregnant again immediately after the medical abortion. You should take a short confinement period first to allow your body to gradually recover.

1. Medical abortion avoids the pain and certain complications of surgical abortion and achieves the purpose of artificial abortion

2. Medical abortion is easy to use, simple to take, does not require curettage, is relatively less painful, and the effect is basically reliable.

2. Medical abortion is suitable for healthy women who are 5 to 7 weeks pregnant and are not suitable for surgical abortion, especially those with scarred uterus, lactating uterus, uterine malformation, and those who have had an abortion within six months or have a history of multiple abortions to terminate early pregnancy.

Medical abortion, also known as drug abortion, refers to the use of Mifepristone tablets plus misoprostol to terminate early pregnancy. In recent years, it has been widely used in clinical practice and is a very popular drug for preventing early pregnancy. It can achieve artificial abortion in the early stages of pregnancy without the need for surgery, but by injection or medication. The use of drugs to terminate pregnancy and medical abortion is the latest development in the past 20 years. Currently, the commonly used drugs are mifepristone tablets (Ru 486) and prostaglandins. The former causes degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua and softening of the cervix, while the latter causes uterine contraction and promotes the expulsion of the embryo.

1. Strict screening before medication, including asking about medical history, conducting a full physical examination and gynecological examination, and laboratory tests such as urine pregnancy test, vaginal cleanliness, Trichomonas and fungi, blood routine and blood type, and B-ultrasound examination.

2. The doctor explains in detail how to take the medication, the efficacy of the medication and possible side effects. The patient can only use the medication after he or she understands and signs.

3. Monitoring during abortion: During the hospitalization observation period, in addition to paying attention to blood pressure, pulse, and side effects of drugs, all urine and feces must be retained in a clean bedpan, and a dedicated person will check and record the presence of a gestational sac and its discharge time, the size of the gestational sac, and the amount of bleeding. If there is active bleeding before or after the expulsion of the fetal sac, uterotonics can be given or curettage can be performed immediately to stop the bleeding.

If the fetal sac has not been expelled after 6 hours of observation and the bleeding is not too much, you can go home and follow up on the date prescribed by the doctor. If tissue is passed at home, it should be brought to the doctor for examination. If vaginal bleeding is more than normal menstrual flow, go to the hospital for treatment in time.
