Patient's question:
I am still a college student, and I haven't been in university for long. But recently, I had sexual relations with my boyfriend, which resulted in me getting pregnant this time. I don't dare tell my family, and I'm planning to go to a pharmacy to get a pill to terminate the pregnancy. So, should I have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Medical abortion is a minor surgical procedure with minimal impact on the body. However, this method is time-sensitive and is generally used within the first 49 days of pregnancy. If it is less than 49 days, this method cannot be used. Additionally, the medication for medical abortion is not available over-the-counter; it is a prescription drug. You must visit a doctor to obtain a prescription, and then you can purchase the medication at the hospital. There may also be risks during the process of medical abortion.
