Patient's question:
What should I do if I got pregnant after taking emergency contraception? I'm about 45 days pregnant now. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it's up to me to decide. If I choose to keep the child, there might be risks involved. If I choose not to, I can have an abortion around 50 days.Doctor's answer:
Do you mean that you took birth control pills and then tested positive for pregnancy? If you don't want to keep it, you should act quickly to have an abortion. Medical abortion is relatively less painful within 49 days, but there is a risk of incomplete miscarriage, which may require a second D&C procedure, causing significant harm to your body. Surgical abortion generally takes about 45 days, and it can only be performed once the gestational sac is visible. Most hospitals now offer painless abortions, which are relatively less painful and cause less harm to the body.The emergency contraception pill currently used in China primarily works by altering the activity of the fertilized egg and the structure of the endometrium, preventing the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus, thereby achieving the effect of breastfeeding. It does not have an aggressive effect on the fertilized egg itself.
