Patient's question:
My girlfriend has recently become pregnant, but we don't want this child. So, I had a medication abortion. However, my girlfriend has recently caught a cold, and I feel that taking cold medicine might not be suitable. I wanted to ask our experts if it's okay to take cold medicine after a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion refers to one method of induced abortion, serving as a remedy for unintended pregnancy. It involves the use of abortion drugs to expel early pregnancy tissue from the body. It is generally suitable for early pregnancy within 49 days. After medication abortion, it is important to rest and avoid strenuous exercise and physical labor.
