Patient's question:
I didn't plan to have children and had an IUD, but I still got pregnant. What are the steps for medication abortion with an IUD in place?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital promptly to have a color ultrasound to check the size of the gestational sac, etc. Generally, it is still possible to consider medication abortion around 6 to 7 weeks. However, pay attention to enhancing nutrition. Medication may be taken for 3 days, during which there may be bleeding and the gestational sac may be expelled. Therefore, it is important to take precautions against residual substances or anemia. Pay close attention to hygiene during these days and carefully observe any abdominal pain or discomfort.
