Patient's question:
My girlfriend found out she's pregnant for a month. I don't want to divorce, I want her to not have this child. How many days is the best period for medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
The best time for medication abortion is within the range of 40 to 49 days. If the gestational sac is too small, medication may not be effective, and if it's too large, it can be more difficult to clear the uterus with medication. Therefore, the most suitable time also requires you to consider the chances of success. It is recommended to have an ultrasound at 40 days after the last menstrual period. At this time, the gestational sac should be visible, and its size can be checked. Based on this, the next step for the abortion procedure can be scheduled. If it is deemed appropriate, medication can be started directly.
