Patient's question:
An unexpected pregnancy has been decided to be resolved through medication-induced abortion, but personally, I cannot take hormone medication. Does medication-induced abortion medication contain hormones?Doctor's answer:
Common abortifacient drugs are mifepristone and misoprostol, and these drugs do contain hormones. Although medication abortion causes less harm to a woman's body and helps the body to recover more completely, medication abortion itself does have incompleteness. If there is residual tissue after medication abortion, it is still necessary to consider a D&C procedure. This issue must be resolved. The hormone component in medication abortion drugs is not excessive; it is merely taken orally for a few days.
