Patient's question:
I'd like to ask if a Cesarean section can be followed by medication abortion? I previously had a Cesarean section when giving birth to my first baby, and now I'm pregnant again, but I don't want to have another child. Can I have a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello. If you had a Cesarean section for your first child and are now pregnant, you can choose medication abortion. However, medication abortion is generally not recommended until at least 45 days after delivery. Additionally, you must undergo a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital within two weeks of medication abortion to ensure that the procedure is complete. If any remnants remain, a second procedure, such as an induced abortion, may be necessary. After medication abortion, it is important to rest, enhance nutrition, avoid cold exposure, and promote rapid recovery. Daily personal hygiene should be maintained, and a healthy diet is essential.
