Can you have medication abortion with cervical erosion?

Patient's question:

Living with my boyfriend, I got pregnant, and I want to have a medication abortion. But I was diagnosed with cervical erosion. Can I still have a medication abortion with cervical erosion?

Doctor's answer:

Cervical erosion is caused by bacterial infection, inflammatory changes in cervical columnar epithelial cells, and can be induced by various reasons such as some secondary induced abortion surgeries. Cervical erosion can be treated with medication abortion because it does not have a significant impact or harm on miscarriage. However, if the cervical erosion is very severe, it is necessary to have anti-inflammatory treatment before taking medication for abortion. This can prevent intrauterine infection.
