Is medication abortion reliable?

Patient's question:

I am pregnant, but I don't want to have this child. I want to do medication abortion. Is medication abortion reliable?

Doctor's answer:

Taking medication for an abortion is a relatively reliable method for ending a pregnancy, but it requires a specific timeframe. The pregnancy must be within 50 days, and it is essential to first undergo a detailed ultrasound examination at a hospital to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy. Only then can you obtain medication with a prescription from a professional doctor. After that, you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions for medication. The biggest drawback of medication abortion is the likelihood of residual tissue remaining in the uterine cavity. Therefore, after confirming that the gestational sac has been expelled, it is important to take medication promptly to promote uterine contractions and remove any remaining blood clots.
