Is medication abortion better the earlier it is performed?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, is it better to have medication abortion as early as possible? What should I pay attention to in terms of diet? I usually dislike eating meat, don't smoke, and don't drink beer. In addition to normal medication treatment, what else should I pay attention to in daily life? How can I recover quickly and thoroughly? Please guide me.

Doctor's answer:

General medication abortion requires being within 49 days of pregnancy; the earlier it is done, the better. It is generally necessary to be at least 35 days pregnant. It is essential to undergo medication abortion at a regular hospital and to have thorough pre-procedure examinations. Medication abortion can easily lead to residual tissue in the uterus, posing the risk of a second uterine clearance. After taking the medication, it is crucial to pay close attention to the amount and condition of bleeding. It is also important to avoid cold and spicy foods, and to strictly prohibit sexual intercourse within one month.
