Patient's question:
I am pregnant because I am too young. I plan to have medication abortion. How long does it take for the medication abortion to take effect after taking the medicine?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is used to terminate an intrauterine pregnancy within 49 days. Because abortion pills may cause severe bleeding, the last dose must be taken under the guidance of a doctor at the hospital. Generally, most women can expel the gestational sac within 6 hours after taking the medication. After the gestational sac is expelled, the doctor should check to ensure it is complete. After the gestational sac is expelled, the hospital should be observed for 2 hours. If everything is normal, you can go home to take care of your postpartum recovery.
