Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant? The harm is relatively small. What is the difference between birth control pills and abortion pills?Doctor's answer:
Contraceptives are mostly composed of estrogen and progestogen hormones. They work by altering the body's hormone levels, delaying and inhibiting menopause, changing the uterine environment to affect implantation, thereby achieving the purpose of breastfeeding. Currently, common abortifacient drugs are mifepristone and misoprostol, which have anti-progestogen and prostaglandin analog properties, with anti-progestogen and anti-glucocorticoid effects, as well as uterine stimulation and cervical softening effects. If the fertilized egg has already formed, taking contraceptives before implantation can interfere with its implantation, which can also be said to indirectly terminate the pregnancy.
