Does the first medication abortion hurt?

Patient's question:

I am pregnant now, I don't want this baby so I want a medication abortion. I want to ask you, does medication abortion hurt the first time?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, if you are pregnant and want to have an abortion, you can choose medication or surgical abortion. First, based on the duration of pregnancy, generally, medication abortion takes 4 to 5 days in total, so you need to take two oral medications. There will definitely be pain, which helps to enhance uterine contractions, and the pain is relatively intense. Usually, it can be used within 42 days of pregnancy. If it exceeds this time, the effectiveness is not as good.
