Patient's question:
Doctor, my friend is already 8 months pregnant, but two days ago, during her prenatal check-up at the hospital, they discovered some problems with the fetus. The doctor then recommended that she have an abortion. I'm very concerned about her health and would like to understand, how is the mifepristone-induced abortion method?Doctor's answer:
Now I am more than 8 months pregnant. If you want to have an abortion, you cannot use mifepristone and misoprostol for the abortion. You can choose to have a saline abortion or use other drugs for abortion, but you cannot use mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone and misoprostol are mainly used for early pregnancy abortions. The success rate of medication abortion is not very high, so a follow-up ultrasound is necessary after the abortion. If there is a lot of residual tissue, a uterine curettage may be required.
