Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for a month. I want to have a medication abortion. I'm not married right now and can't have this child. How many hours does a medication abortion take?Doctor's answer:
When you are one month pregnant and considering medication abortion, in this case, medication abortion generally requires about six hours. From taking the oral medication to the expulsion of the embryo, it usually takes about six hours. Do not exceed two hours, as abdominal pain may occur after two hours. In many cases, the gestational sac is expelled around two hours. If it hasn't been expelled after two hours, it will generally be expelled within six hours. If it still hasn't been expelled, it's important to go to the hospital promptly for a D&C procedure to resolve the issue.
