Patient's question:
Your friend's period has not arrived on time. She went to the hospital for a check-up and was told she is pregnant. The gestational sac is 2 cm. She does not want this child and wants to have a medication abortion. What are the chances of a medication abortion being completely effective with a 2 cm gestational sac?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, medication abortion can be considered within 49 days after menstruation. If it exceeds 49 days, it is recommended to have an induced abortion. Currently, the choice of medication abortion is acceptable, but it is not recommended if it is later in the pregnancy. Medication abortion itself carries the risk of incomplete abortion, which means the possibility of a uterine curettage. The key is to see how sensitive each individual is to this medication.
