I had an abortion with medication two years ago. Can I still have an abortion with medication now?

There are two main methods of abortion in society. One is medical abortion and the other is surgical abortion. I believe many people know that medical abortion will cause great harm to women's bodies, and many people do not advocate a second abortion after medical abortion. Because if not handled properly it can lead to infertility. Some people will wonder if the abortion with medication that was performed two years ago can be performed now?

If we only consider the previous history of medical abortion, it should not have much impact on the present, and medical abortion can be performed to terminate the pregnancy, but at the same time, other requirements for medical abortion must be met.

The dangers of medical abortion

Medical abortion is not a panacea. Due to the lack of technology or improper methods of medical abortion itself, it may cause serious harm to the health of pregnant women.

1. Causes Inflammation

After medical abortion, the gestational sac will usually be expelled on the same day, but there may be incomplete expulsion of the pregnancy tissue, making it difficult for the uterine membrane to recover and causing persistent vaginal bleeding, which may last for 2 to 3 weeks, and in severe cases, may last for 1 to 2 months. Such long-term continuous blood loss is likely to lead to anemia and may also cause endometritis.

2. Low success rate

In recent years, many women have needed to go to the hospital for uterine curettage surgery because of incomplete medical abortion, which has caused gynecological inflammation. In more serious cases, the tragedy of infertility may even occur. The reason for this is that in medical abortion, the main drug used is mifepristone. However, this drug has only been around for a dozen years, so trials for its clinical use are not sufficient and detailed enough. Currently, the success rate of medical abortion is only 75%.

3. Cause infertility

The hazards caused by incomplete medical abortion also include: fallopian tube blockage, uterine and ovarian damage, etc., which can lead to infertility and cause irreparable harm to pregnant women.

4. Repeated medical abortion is harmful

(1) The first thing you need to understand is that medical abortion achieves the purpose of abortion by hindering the normal function of endocrine, so medical abortion is more or less harmful to the body;

(2) Medical abortion can also cause certain damage to the ovaries, and generally speaking, the recovery time of this damage is also relatively long.

(3) Medical abortion may cause continuous bleeding, which may cause anemia and low immunity in pregnant women, and damage their health.

(4) Medical abortion may also cause vaginal infection, and the harm to the body should not be underestimated.

Another point that needs to be emphasized is that many women may have misunderstandings about medical abortion, thinking that medical abortion is as normal as menstruation and will not cause harm to the body. Therefore, not enough attention is paid to contraceptive measures, and medical abortion is performed after pregnancy. Some people may do it 2 or 3 times a year, which causes great harm to their bodies.
