Patient's question:
When having sexual intercourse with your husband, you didn't take preventive measures and got pregnant, but due to work reasons, you cannot have the baby yet. Can medication abortion be completely effective?Doctor's answer:
In this kind of situation, if you want to choose medication abortion, it is acceptable. However, it is best to have this abortion performed within the first 49 days of pregnancy. After 49 days, the abortion is usually not complete. If your uterus has good contraction ability, medication abortion is generally effective in ensuring a complete abortion. But if your uterus does not contract well, it may be difficult to achieve a complete abortion. In cases where medication abortion is not complete, a uterine aspiration procedure (D&C) is necessary.
