Patient's question:
I had sex with my boyfriend and accidentally got pregnant. It's been two months now. Which medication is used for medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
If you have been pregnant for two months, you need to have a thorough ultrasound examination first to confirm an intrauterine early pregnancy. If it is confirmed that you want to terminate the early pregnancy, you can decide between medication abortion or painless induced abortion. The main drugs for medication abortion are mifepristone and misoprostol, which are prescription drugs and need to be obtained from a hospital. It is not recommended to self-administer medication abortion at home to avoid the risk of uterine atony leading to severe bleeding.
