Patient's question:
I am a 48-year-old woman who has been experiencing discomfort recently. The discomfort has gradually worsened. Please ask: If pregnant, what can be eaten to have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Medication-induced abortion is required for intrauterine early pregnancy within 49 days of amenorrhea. It involves taking mifepristone and misoprostol, which have side effects and may lead to menstrual disorders. If the medication abortion is incomplete, it can result in heavy bleeding and may require a D&C procedure. Both medication abortion and surgical abortion have their own advantages and disadvantages.Within 49 days of pregnancy, medication abortion is possible. It causes less psychological trauma, prolonged bleeding, and has a success rate of about 85%. Surgical abortion directly removes the embryo, causing psychological trauma to the endometrium, short bleeding duration, and a success rate of about 98%. Postoperative complications may include infections, uterine adhesions, and thin endometrium.
