Patient's question:
Two months ago, I accidentally got pregnant because I didn't take proper protective measures, and I was planning to have an abortion. Hello, how long does the pain from medication abortion last?Doctor's answer:
For medication-induced abortion, the duration of abdominal pain varies significantly among individuals. Some people experience pain similar to regular menstrual cramps, lasting for about one to two days, while others feel no pain at all. For those who do experience pain, it typically occurs two to three hours after taking the abortion medication, when the gestational sac is expelled. In other words, medication-induced abortion should not cause severe abdominal pain. It is crucial to strictly follow the doctor's instructions when taking the medication. If severe abdominal pain or heavy vaginal bleeding occurs, seek medical attention promptly.
