Patient's question:
I am a 29-year-old woman. My husband and I started trying to conceive right after getting married, and now I am pregnant. However, I am very worried. Can I have a medication abortion at 40 days of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion primarily works by using drugs to cause the uterine lining to degenerate and become inflamed, soften the cervix, continuously intensify uterine contractions, and promote the expulsion of the embryo to achieve the purpose of miscarriage. The timing of medication abortion is mainly determined by the size of the gestational sac. Generally, experts believe that the best time for medication abortion is within 49 days after pregnancy. It is recommended that patients visit a formal hospital for a thorough examination before choosing the method of miscarriage. Do not have any psychological pressure, maintain a cheerful mood, pay attention to getting more rest during this period, and maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
