Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a pregnant mom, and I have been feeling unwell recently with a fever and cold. Since I didn't realize I was pregnant, I took medication to treat the fever. My family members said it's not good for the child's growth and development, and they suggested I give up the child. Here, I want to ask what methods of miscarriage are suitable around the first month of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, generally speaking, it is possible to have a color ultrasound around the first month of pregnancy, but it may not be visible. It usually takes about 40 days for a color ultrasound to detect a gestational sac, which means that an abortion can only be performed after ectopic pregnancy is ruled out. Medication abortion is available within 49 days of pregnancy, and an abortion can be directly performed within two months. In the early stages, you can choose medication abortion, which may result in a complete miscarriage without the need for a D&C.
