Patient's question:
I am a 48-year-old woman who has been experiencing discomfort recently. Gradually, the discomfort has worsened. Please ask: If pregnant, what can be eaten to have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Medical abortion is required for intrauterine early pregnancy within 49 days of amenorrhea. It involves taking mifepristone and misoprostol, which have side effects, may lead to menstrual disorders, and can cause heavy bleeding if the abortion is incomplete, requiring procedures like dilation and curettage. Both medical and surgical abortions have their pros and cons.Within 49 days of pregnancy, medical 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, shorter bleeding duration, and a success rate of about 98%. Postoperative complications may include inflammation, uterine adhesions, and thin endometrium.
