Patient's question:
I only found out I was pregnant about a month ago. Previously, my period didn't come, and I always thought it was due to irregular menstruation or discomfort. Now that the baby is a month old, should I have an abortion or a medication abortion? What is the earliest time for medication abortion? I'm always afraid that the medication abortion won't be clean.Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is possible within the first 49 days of pregnancy, and the earlier, the higher the success rate. There is a risk of incomplete medication abortion and the risk of heavy bleeding, although not every case is like this; some medication abortions are successful. Surgical abortion is generally more suitable around the 40-day mark. There are options for painless surgical abortion, which is quicker but may cost more than medication abortion. It is recommended that if the pregnancy is within the first 49 days, medication abortion can be considered, as it has less impact on the body.
