Is it safe to have medication abortion at 6 weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask if it is possible to have medication abortion at 6 weeks of pregnancy? Is it dangerous for the body? What side effects will occur after taking it?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, medication abortion can be performed around six weeks of pregnancy. However, it is also essential to make an assessment based on the size of the embryo. If the embryo is too large, medication abortion cannot be performed. Generally, any miscarriage can be somewhat harmful to the body. The common side effect of medication abortion is incomplete miscarriage, which can easily lead to a secondary D&C procedure. It is recommended to make a decision based on your own situation.
