How many days of pregnancy can you have a medication abortion?

Patient's question:

How many days into pregnancy can you have a medical abortion? A classmate in the dorm told me she carefully checked and found out she was pregnant, but she can't keep the child now.

Doctor's answer:

If you want to choose medication abortion, it must be within the first 49 days of pregnancy. If it is less than 49 days, medication abortion cannot be performed. Generally speaking, medication abortion causes less harm to women's physical health, especially for those who are pregnant for the first time. However, it is also important to understand that medication abortion itself has the potential for incompleteness. After medication abortion, it is necessary to undergo a follow-up check. If there are remnants, it may be necessary to consider a D&C procedure.
