Patient's question:
It is said that medication abortion is also very painful, and I feel particularly sad. Is the pain of medication abortion equivalent to being dilated several fingers? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The pain of medication abortion and the dilation of the cervix do not necessarily correlate. When the cervix is dilated but without accompanying contractions, the pain is usually very mild, and some people may not feel any pain at all. In the case of medication abortion, the pain is generally similar to menstrual cramps and is usually manageable. If you are considering medication abortion, you need to have a medical examination at a hospital first to confirm that the size of the intrauterine gestational sac is appropriate before proceeding. If the gestational sac is too large or too small, it is not suitable for medication abortion.
