Patient's question:
After getting pregnant, I felt very unwell physically. I already have heart disease, and I want to have a medication abortion. Can I have a medication abortion after being pregnant for several months?Doctor's answer:
The time for medication abortion is within 49 days after conception. As long as you go to the hospital for an ultrasound to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy, you can consider medication abortion. The two drugs used for medication abortion are mifepristone and misoprostol. One promotes cervical ripening, while the other helps expel the fetus. On the third day of taking the medication, the gestational sac will be expelled. If you have heart disease, it would be safer to be hospitalized for treatment.
