Patient's question:
My girlfriend had a medication abortion, and I saw her taking Mifepristone. I want to know what the effect of taking Mifepristone is after a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion primarily involves taking two days of mifepristone, which has the effect of terminating the embryo and softening the uterine lining. After taking mifepristone orally for two days, one day of misoprostol is taken, which induces uterine contractions to help expel the embryo. This is the process of medication abortion. If the medication abortion is incomplete or there is excessive vaginal bleeding, a uterine evacuation must be performed for treatment. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
