Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for over a month, but I don't want to have this child. I want to have a medication abortion. What are the dietary restrictions for medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
You are currently about one month pregnant and considering medication abortion. First, you need to have a thorough ultrasound examination at a local hospital to rule out ectopic pregnancy. If it is confirmed to be an intrauterine pregnancy and the gestational age is appropriate, medication abortion can be performed under the guidance of a doctor. You should take the medication two hours before or after meals to avoid food affecting the absorption of the drugs and compromising their effectiveness. Additionally, avoid spicy, cold, or frozen foods. When experiencing vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain during medication abortion, pay close attention to the amount of vaginal bleeding. It is also necessary to have a follow-up ultrasound examination 2 to 3 days later to rule out residual tissue in the uterine cavity.
