Patient's question:
I am a pregnant woman, about a month pregnant. My boyfriend doesn't want me anymore, and I don't want the child in my body either. I want to use medication to have an abortion, but I don't know when is the best time to do it. How long does it take for medication abortion to be effective?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, if you plan to have medication-induced abortion, it can be performed 7 weeks after your menstrual period stops. However, before undergoing medication-induced abortion, you need to go to the hospital for a color ultrasound to check the size of the gestational sac before proceeding with the procedure. Note that you should avoid extremely cold foods and not stay up late or get cold after the abortion, as this can easily lead to anemia. Afterward, sexual activity should be avoided during breastfeeding. Symptoms may occur within 1 week after taking the medication. The above information can be used as a reference.
