Is it dangerous to take medication for an abortion at forty days of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am pregnant, my boyfriend doesn't want the child, and he doesn't want me to have an abortion either. He says it's too expensive and plans to use medication. Is it dangerous to use medication for an abortion at 40 days pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

You can have a medication abortion at 40 days of pregnancy. Medication abortion may have risks, such as incomplete miscarriage and excessive bleeding. However, this varies from person to person, and the symptoms may differ. It is recommended that you avoid consuming excessive amounts of extremely cold and spicy foods during this period to prevent bleeding from increasing and to protect your health. Maintain physical and mental well-being, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
