Patient's question:
I had sex with my boyfriend last month. During the process, we didn't use any protection, so unfortunately, I got pregnant. I want to have an abortion. I read online that within 40 days, it's possible to decide on medication abortion. Do you know which medication would cause less harm?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination promptly to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy. If the pregnancy is confirmed to be intrauterine, you can be prescribed medication directly at the hospital. The medication for medication abortion is a prescription drug, and there is only one type, which will be prescribed directly by the attending physician. The physician will also inform you how to take the oral medication. There is a 10% chance that incomplete abortion may occur with oral medication abortion. If the medication abortion is incomplete or successful, it is necessary to have a uterine evacuation promptly.
