Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant and want to have a medication abortion, but I have cervical erosion. Can I have a medication abortion with cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
You have cervical erosion, which is a manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. Generally, it does not affect medication-induced abortion. Medication-induced abortion, at least, does not cause damage to the cervix. You need to decide on an appropriate abortion method based on your pregnancy duration under the guidance of a local doctor. After medication-induced abortion, it is necessary to undergo a follow-up ultrasound examination at a local hospital to rule out residual tissue in the uterine cavity. If residual tissue is present, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be required. Additionally, active treatment should be given for cervical erosion after the abortion.
