Patient's question:
A friend of mine recently got pregnant, but she doesn't want to keep it and is considering a medication abortion. Can you tell me if a medication abortion is successful at 38 days pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, deciding not to have a child during pregnancy and choosing medication abortion is very normal and common. There is no need to be overly anxious or concerned about personal hygiene habits. It is sufficient to avoid contact and irritation from greasy, spicy, and cold foods. Theoretically, the drug that can be chosen is the one that helps to terminate the fetal villi. In addition to promoting the shedding of the endometrium and the detachment of the gestational sac, the success rate is generally high within 42 days.
