Patient's question:
My aunt hasn't had her period this month. After checking, she found out she's pregnant. I want to ask if it's possible to have a medication abortion at 45.Doctor's answer:
Hello:It is a pleasure to serve you. According to the explanation provided, medication abortion is suitable for women under 40 years of age. It is not recommended for women aged 45 or older, as the medication used in medication abortion contains a high amount of hormones. At the age of 45, women are more likely to experience menopause, which can easily lead to endocrine disorders. Additionally, medication abortion may result in incomplete miscarriage. If an incomplete miscarriage occurs, a uterine clearance procedure will be necessary, which can cause greater harm to the body. It is recommended to choose a painless abortion. The optimal time for an abortion is between the 40th and 50th day of pregnancy and should not exceed 70 days.
