Patient's question:
I am only 21 years old now, but I have been pregnant for a month. I don't want the child now, so I want to ask if it is possible to have medication abortion at one month pregnant?Doctor's answer:
You can have a medication abortion at one month pregnant. The indication for medication abortion is within 49 days of pregnancy, which is within seven weeks. Therefore, if you are pregnant for one month, you can have a medication abortion. Medication abortion has both good and bad aspects for unintended early pregnancy. The good aspect is that it can minimize damage to the endometrium. The bad aspect is that it can easily lead to incomplete medication abortion, requiring a secondary. However, for a first pregnancy, medication abortion is generally still recommended as it causes less harm.
