Patient's question:
My sister found out a few days ago that she was pregnant. Yesterday, when she went to the hospital for an ultrasound, she discovered it was an ectopic pregnancy. The doctor prescribed medication and advised her to have a medication-induced abortion at home. After returning home, she took the mifepristone tablets and has had no reactions so far. I want to know how long it takes for someone with an ectopic pregnancy to have a reaction after taking mifepristone tablets?Doctor's answer:
If you carefully check and confirm it is an ectopic pregnancy, conservative treatment can be performed. In your case, you can take mifepristone orally. Generally, after taking it for 12 hours, you may experience abdominal pain again and a very small amount of vaginal bleeding. You do not need to worry too much as long as the bleeding is not significant. Close and careful monitoring is sufficient. You can also combine traditional Chinese medicine for blood circulation and blood stasis treatment, and undergo regular follow-up examinations. The recurrence of ectopic pregnancy poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients need to pay attention to maintaining clean external genitalia in daily life and avoid sexual activity. We hope that female patients can receive proper treatment.
