Patient's question:
I'm preparing to go to the hospital these days to get an abortion injection to terminate the child inside me. But I want to ask, during the process of getting the abortion injection, will the child struggle inside the womb? Or will it never struggle and just come out?Doctor's answer:
Abortions are similar to normal deliveries. After an abortion, the pregnant woman will experience uterine contractions, which manifest as abdominal pain, within 24-48 hours. The abortion injection typically involves the administration of levonorgestrel into the amniotic cavity. After the anesthetic drug is administered, there may be discomfort in the lower back and abdomen, followed by intermittent abdominal pain. When the cervix dilates to a certain extent, the fetus will be ready to be delivered. If there is no response after 72 hours, further anesthesia or medication may be required. Therefore, pay attention to abdominal pain and vaginal discharge.
