Patient's question:
I am one month pregnant and want to have a medication abortion. What tests need to be carefully conducted before a medication abortion? What is the detailed process for a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
It is very common for a woman to decide to have a medication abortion after being pregnant for one month. Generally, before undergoing a medication abortion, a thorough ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs is conducted to check the size of the specific gestational sac. If it is confirmed to be less than 42 days, the medication abortion can be performed. The process involves going to the hospital, where the doctor prescribes two medications. Under the guidance of the doctor, these medications are taken, and the gestational sac is typically expelled within about a week.
