Patient's question:
Pregnant, but because I am currently at a critical stage in my career, I don't want to have it. How painful is a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it seems that medication abortion, also known as medical abortion, is a method for early termination of pregnancy. It generally involves the use of drugs that antagonize progesterone and drugs that enhance uterine contractions to expel the gestational sac tissue. The pain from medication abortion is usually not too severe, just mild. However, pain can also vary from person to person, as some individuals may be more sensitive to pain. For most people, the pain is within a manageable range.
