Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for two months. At first, I didn't think it was pregnancy, but later I bought a pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant. However, I'm not ready for a child, so I want to have an abortion. I don't know whether to take medication or have surgery. Is medication abortion dangerous?Doctor's answer:
There is a time-related impact on medication-induced abortion. Generally, it is advised that the pregnancy duration should not be less than 49 days. Based on the described situation, it has been two months since the last menstrual period, indicating that the pregnancy has lasted for two months. This means the window for direct medication-induced abortion has been missed. At this stage, if medication-induced abortion is used blindly, the embryo tissue has already grown significantly, making it easy to block the cervical opening and increasing the risk of severe bleeding. In this phase, it is generally necessary to undergo an induced abortion procedure to terminate the early pregnancy.
