Patient's question:
I have already had one baby, this is the second one. I don't want this child. This is a decision made under the guidance of my family, and I had an abortion at the hospital using medication. I want to know how long the cramps from the medication abortion will last?Doctor's answer:
Some women's contractions may last for 1-2 days, while others may last for 2-3 days. For women who undergo medication-induced abortion to terminate early pregnancy, there is often a significant uterine contraction after the medication is taken. This is necessary to dislodge the decidua from the uterine cavity, and the duration of contractions can vary from person to person. Therefore, after the gestational sac is expelled during medication abortion, women may still experience abdominal cramping, which is a physiological manifestation of uterine contractions. If abdominal pain persists for a long time, it may be related to incomplete abortion or uterine cavity bleeding, and it is necessary to seek medical attention for a thorough examination and treatment.
