Patient's question:
A while ago, due to not taking proper contraceptive measures during sexual activity, I've realized I'm pregnant. However, I haven't made the preparations to get married or have a child, so I'm considering taking medication to terminate the pregnancy. But I'm also worried about the impact on my health, so I'd like to ask what are the side effects after taking the abortion pill?Doctor's answer:
Medical abortion has strict indications, and there are some people who cannot undergo medical abortion. Therefore, it is recommended to visit a hospital after becoming pregnant to verify the specific gestational age, determine if it is an intrauterine early pregnancy, and communicate with the doctor to decide on the appropriate method of abortion. Even if medical abortion is chosen, it must be implemented under the careful observation of a doctor in the hospital. Self-administering medication for abortion can easily lead to severe bleeding and incomplete abortion. Therefore, it is not advisable to take medication for abortion at home.
