How many days of amenorrhea can you have an abortion with medication?

Patient's question:

Recently, I wanted to have a medication abortion, but I am still having my period now. How many days of amenorrhea are required for a medication abortion? Thank you, doctor.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the medication abortion is performed within 49 days of pregnancy. Before taking the medication, an ultrasound examination must be conducted to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy before proceeding. Additionally, a thorough physical examination is required to rule out any contraindications. Currently, apart from menstruation, you will not be pregnant, and medication abortion cannot be performed if you are not pregnant. After a missed period, an ultrasound examination is still necessary, and medication abortion should not be taken casually.
