Patient's question:
The other day I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, where I discovered I was pregnant. Since I haven't married my boyfriend yet, I don't plan to keep this child. I was originally considering a painless abortion, but the cost was quite high, so I thought about using medication for an abortion. Can I decide to have a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
If the diagnosis is an intrauterine pregnancy within 49 days of conception, you can go to the hospital to have a medication abortion to terminate an early pregnancy. First, you need to promptly go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to confirm that it is an intrauterine pregnancy. After the diagnosis confirms an intrauterine pregnancy, it must be at least 49 days before medication abortion can be performed. Generally, medication abortion requires taking oral medication under the guidance of a doctor. After taking the medication, you should carefully observe the condition of the bleeding. After the gestational sac is expelled, a follow-up examination is necessary to ensure that the miscarriage is complete.
