Patient's question:
I've been taking the medication for a day, and I'm feeling very sad. I heard that this procedure is very painful, so I want to understand how long after taking the medication does the pain start?Doctor's answer:
If the decision is made to use medication for an abortion and the medication is inserted into the vagina, it is to promote the softening of the cervix. Generally, pain can reappear within 3 to 5 days, along with the shedding of the endometrium, which enhances the occurrence of a miscarriage. However, in clinical diagnosis, the primary method is still oral medication. Moreover, this medication requires use under the guidance of a hospital doctor and is classified as a prescription drug. A follow-up ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages is recommended after a week.
