Patient's question:
A good friend got pregnant unexpectedly and doesn't want it. How long after pregnancy can she do medication abortion? What is the approximate cost? Is it harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
If a woman is pregnant for the first time, it is better to choose medication abortion. This method is suitable for unintended pregnancies within 49 days of gestation, meaning it can be done between 30 and 49 days of pregnancy. The cost of medication abortion is relatively low, typically ranging from a few hundred yuan, and it causes minimal harm to the body. However, it is important to be aware of one issue: there is a possibility of residual tissue remaining after the procedure. If this occurs, a follow-up procedure called a D&C (dilation and curettage) may be necessary, which can cause greater harm to the body.
