Patient's question:
Hello doctor, a few weeks ago when I was masturbating with my boyfriend, I didn't prepare well for breastfeeding, which accidentally led to me getting pregnant. After realizing I was pregnant, I wanted to consider a medication abortion. I would like to ask the doctor, how quickly does medication abortion work?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is confirmed that an unexpected pregnancy has occurred and it is necessary to actively carry out examinations and treatment, after confirming the size of the embryo, the method of medication abortion can be decided for treatment. Medical abortion through oral medication is usually relatively small, and the embryo is typically completely expelled from the body within three days of taking the medication. If recovery is good post-procedure and there are no remaining fetal tissues, the entire process is usually completed within about a week.
