Patient's question:
I'm about a month pregnant and don't want an abortion. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said I could take medication to terminate the pregnancy. How long does it take for a miscarriage after taking the medication?Doctor's answer:
If you do not want to have a child after getting pregnant, the first thing you should do is have an ultrasound to carefully check and confirm an intrauterine pregnancy. If an intrauterine pregnancy is confirmed, you can undergo medical abortion, taking mifepristone and misoprostol. This medication must be taken within 49 days of pregnancy to be effective. If it is taken before 49 days, it may easily lead to incomplete miscarriage. On the first two days, take mifepristone, and on the third day, take misoprostol.
