How long does medical abortion take?

Patient's question:

Now me and my boyfriend don't want to get married yet, but now I'm pregnant. So, I want to buy some medicine to have a miscarriage. Generally speaking, how long does it take for medication abortion? What should I pay attention to during the miscarriage process? How long should I rest after the miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

The time for medication-induced abortion is generally three days. One cannot blindly take the medication orally. It is essential to undergo a thorough examination in a legitimate medical institution to determine if there are indications for medication-induced abortion before taking the medication under the guidance of a doctor in the outpatient department. Blindly taking the medication can lead to severe consequences such as heavy bleeding, and in serious cases, it may even endanger life. After medication-induced abortion, one usually needs to rest for about 15 to 20 days and take routine anti-inflammatory and recuperative measures.
