Patient's question:
How long after pregnancy can a woman take medication for an abortion? Will it cause any effects on the body in the future? Can she still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If you accidentally get pregnant and do not plan to keep the baby, you can opt for medication abortion. This is generally suitable for pregnancies within 49 days of a missed period. If a thorough examination reveals no abnormalities, medication abortion can be administered. However, medication abortion still carries certain risks. You need to take the final dose of medication in a hospital and closely monitor whether tissue or fetal remains are expelled. If the medication abortion is successful, further uterine aspiration surgery may be required. For the vast majority of people, medication abortion does not affect future fertility. However, a small number of individuals may still experience issues such as uterine adhesion, menstrual disorders, or secondary infertility.
