Patient's question:
Doctor, I need to have an abortion. I want to know, if I want to have a medication abortion, can I take mifepristone? Doctor, how many of this medication do I need to take to have an abortion? I hope you can help me. Can mifepristone be used for medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Medication-induced abortion must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and during the final days when oral medication is taken, careful observation is required in the gynecology outpatient clinic. The doctor must carefully check whether the embryo has been completely expelled. If it has not been completely expelled, immediate uterine aspiration treatment must be performed. The incidence of incomplete abortion is relatively high in medication-induced abortion, and it is absolutely not advisable to self-administer medication at home. This may lead to incomplete miscarriage, severe bleeding, secondary infection, and potential infertility.Moreover, medication-induced abortion has strict indications, and it is not suitable for all early pregnancies. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's gynecology outpatient clinic for a follow-up examination to determine the appropriate method of abortion.
