Patient's question:
Doctor, I was pregnant before, but I didn't want it very much, so last month because I was afraid of the pain from an abortion and it required surgery, I had a medication abortion. But I don't know what happened, after the medication abortion, I started having headaches. What is the reason for the headaches after the medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
General medication for medication abortion typically requires mifepristone, misoprostol, and alcohol. The side effects of these medications are usually headaches. This is generally not a cause for concern, as the pain typically subsides within about a week. If the pain persists after two weeks, targeted and thorough examinations should be conducted. This may involve an electroencephalogram (EEG) or a brain CT scan. Alternatively, the headache could be caused by cervical spondylosis, which is usually a type of migraine. Then, targeted medication can be administered. In most cases, there is nothing to worry about.
