Patient's question:
My friend's cousin is 17 years old this year and is still in high school. Recently, she noticed that her menstrual period hadn't come for a long time. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, she found out she was pregnant. She didn't dare to tell her family and asked my friend for money to get an abortion. Later, it was said that taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy could terminate it. I want to ask the doctor, what medication should be taken for an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, an abortion procedure can be performed around 40 to 50 days of pregnancy. It is not recommended to use medication for abortion, as it may lead to severe bleeding and incomplete miscarriage in women. It is advised to undergo a formal painless abortion at a hospital, as this minimizes mental trauma and promotes faster recovery. After the abortion, it is important to rest in bed and avoid overexertion. You can also consume more foods that replenish qi and blood.
