What is the best time to take medication for an abortion?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am 24 years old. Due to poor contraceptive measures, I got pregnant unexpectedly. You mentioned taking medication for a miscarriage. What is the best time for taking medication for a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

If possible, it is recommended to have an ultrasound examination to carefully check the growth and development of the gestational sac. If there is no gynecological inflammation, medication-induced abortion can be used to prevent pregnancy. If you do not want to be pregnant now, the best time for a medical abortion is around 40 days after conception. After taking the medication for medication-induced abortion, you may experience abdominal pain, but the severity should be within a tolerable range. The duration of vaginal bleeding after medication-induced abortion is usually not more than one week. It is necessary to have a follow-up ultrasound examination at the hospital one week after medication-induced abortion to check if there are any residual remnants in the uterine cavity.
