Patient's question:
I'm only 16 years old. Yesterday, I used a pregnancy test strip and found out that I'm pregnant. I told my boyfriend, and he was shocked too. Neither of us wants this child, but we're afraid to tell our parents or go to the hospital for an abortion. What kind of medicine can cause miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
If it is an unintended pregnancy and you are unable to focus on early pregnancy, this situation can be terminated through induced abortion or medication abortion. Generally, when considering medication abortion, the drugs used are mifepristone and misoprostol. However, these two medications must be used after a thorough medical examination at the hospital and under the guidance of a doctor. It is absolutely essential not to self-medicate, as using these drugs can be dangerous if it is an ectopic pregnancy.
