Patient's question:
I got pregnant during my time in school, and I currently don't have the ability to raise a child. Therefore, I had to have an abortion. I plan to have a medication abortion, and the child has been in my womb for about a month. The doctor said I can have a medication abortion, but I'm a bit worried about my health. What are the precautions for medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is essential to have an ultrasound before taking medication for an abortion to confirm that the pregnancy is intrauterine before taking the medication. During the medication abortion period, it is important to rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods. After the gestational sac is expelled, pay close attention to the symptoms of abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. It usually takes at least 20 days, and postoperative rest is recommended for about a week. A follow-up ultrasound is required one month later to monitor the recovery of the uterus. Intercourse is only allowed after one month. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
