Patient's question:
I am 27 years old, and my period has been delayed by more than a week. I checked today and found out I'm pregnant. My friend said it can be terminated with medication. How long does it take for the gestational sac to be expelled with medication?Doctor's answer:
Before undergoing medication abortion, first confirm the number of days since conception. If it is less than 7 weeks, medication abortion should not be performed. Generally, abdominal pain will occur two hours after taking the medication, and the gestational sac is expected to be expelled within about six hours. Focus on taking uterine contraction and anti-inflammatory medication, and it will take about three days to be completely expelled. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
