What are the pros and cons of medical abortion?

Due to the openness of sexual concepts, more and more people are engaging in premarital sex. If you do not take contraceptive measures during premarital sex, you may get pregnant. If you do not want a child, most women will choose to go to the hospital for an abortion, or buy some medicine to have a medical abortion. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of medical abortion?

Advantages of medical abortion:

1. The most direct and visible advantage of medical abortion is that it avoids surgical injuries and does not require entering the uterine cavity, thus reducing the chance of infection.

2. Medical abortion is a safe, less traumatic, painless and convenient way to terminate early pregnancy.

3. Medical abortion only takes 3-4 days, and pregnant women can live and work normally during this period.

4. When medical abortion fails, a uterine curettage surgery will cause much less harm than an artificial abortion.

Disadvantages of medical abortion: There are many contraindications to medical abortion. Medical abortion should not be performed in the following situations.

1. The drugs used for medical abortion are mainly mifepristone drugs, so the contraindications of mifepristone are also the contraindications of medical abortion: chronic diseases, endocrine diseases, abnormal liver and kidney function, thrombotic diseases, various blood diseases of both sexes or hypertension diseases, etc.

2. There are also contraindications for prostaglandin drugs: people with glaucoma, asthma, heart disease, allergies, and pregnant women with gastrointestinal disorders.

3. Women with ectopic pregnancy or suspected ectopic pregnancy.

4. Women with intrauterine contraceptive devices.

5. Pregnant women who cannot go to the hospital in time after taking the medicine should choose medical abortion to avoid some unexpected situations and delay the treatment.

After having a medical abortion, you must pay attention to observe your physical condition, because medical abortion is different from general abortion, and it is very likely that the abortion will not be complete. If the abortion is not complete, you may have to go to the hospital for a curettage. Therefore, after having a medical abortion, you must pay attention to observe your physical condition to avoid infection.
