Doctor's answer:

Traditional Chinese medicine primarily focuses on toning and nurturing the body. Medicinal abortion is usually treated with Western medicine. If proper post-abortion care is taken, it does not cause significant interference to the body. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a Western medicine-induced abortion.
Before taking medication for an abortion, you must confirm that you are within 49 days of your last menstrual period and that you are confirmed to be pregnant. The specific method is as follows: Mifepristone 25mg (one tablet) taken orally twice a day for three consecutive days, followed by Mifepristone 600ug (three tablets) taken orally in the morning on the fourth day. It is recommended that you closely monitor any changes in your body after taking the medication. If you experience any discomfort, seek medical attention promptly.
One month after the abortion, sexual activity and tub baths are strictly prohibited. Maintain cleanliness of the external genital area to prevent infections and ensure a timely and thorough recovery.
