How many hours between meals should I take the medicine?

Although medical abortion is convenient and quick, not everyone can have an abortion this way. Medical abortion usually needs to be performed under the guidance of a doctor. After a medical abortion, a woman's body is very fragile and she needs to eat according to her own situation. It is best to wait two hours after medical abortion before eating. Eating will not have much effect on the efficacy of the drug. So what precautions should be taken after medical abortion? Let’s find out.

Precautions before medical abortion

1. Before taking medical abortion medicine, a B-ultrasound examination must be performed to understand the size and position of the embryonic sac to help determine whether medical abortion is suitable.

Women who are suitable for taking medicine:

Medical abortion is only suitable for women who are pregnant within 50 days of amenorrhea (intrauterine pregnancy), under the age of 34, in good health, and have no contraindications. Specifically, the following women can have medical abortion: young women who are primigravid or nulliparous; women who have had amenorrhea for less than 49 days; women who are younger than 40 years old; women who have no heart, liver, kidney, reproductive, or endocrine system diseases; women whose pregnancy is confirmed to be normal by B-ultrasound; and women whose average gestational sac diameter is less than 20 mm.

Women who are not suitable for medical abortion:

If a woman has certain medical conditions, such as adrenal sebaceous insufficiency, or is wearing an intrauterine device, pregnant, or has a suspected ectopic pregnancy, she is not suitable for medical abortion. Women who have suffered from or are suffering from serious systemic diseases, liver or kidney dysfunction, allergic constitution, heart disease, hypertension, anemia, asthma, glaucoma, skin itching during pregnancy, etc., as well as those who suspect ectopic pregnancy, take large amounts of medication for a long time, smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, and are addicted to alcohol are not suitable for medical abortion.

2. Go to a place with emergency treatment, curettage, blood transfusion and infusion conditions for medical abortion, and observe closely to prevent accidents.

3. For medical abortion, take the medicine strictly according to the doctor's instructions and go for follow-up visits on time.

Precautions after medical abortion

1. No sexual intercourse.

Some people bleed for a long time after medical abortion, some for a short time, and some for occasional bleeding. In either case, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited before menstruation. Because the cervix is ​​in a relaxed state during medical abortion, its effect in preventing bacteria from entering the uterine cavity is weakened. During sexual intercourse, bacteria hidden in the male foreskin and bacteria in the female vulva, vagina, and cervix can take the opportunity to ascend and infect the uterine cavity. At the same time, after the embryonic tissue is peeled off, the blood sinuses are open and easily infected by bacteria.

2. Do not take a bath, do vaginal douching, or swim within one month after medical abortion.

3. The sanitary napkins and toilet paper used must be qualified products. Sanitary napkins should be changed frequently, do not wear underwear made of chemical fiber fabrics, and change and wash underwear every day.

4. Pay attention to dietary adjustments. Eat more high-quality protein to strengthen your body, but don't eat too much greasy food.

5. Anyone who undergoes uterine curettage due to failed medical abortion or incomplete abortion or heavy bleeding must take antibiotics after the operation.
