Patient's question:
A few days ago, I lived with my girlfriend, and after that, her period didn't come. We both suspected that she might be pregnant. At least 90% of us believed it. We definitely don't want a child. If she really is pregnant, my girlfriend said she didn't know how to face it. I said if she is pregnant, we should have an abortion. She's scared of this and scared of that, and I've also read some information about medication-induced abortions. However, it seems that this medication was banned for sale in 2006. My girlfriend is also afraid of going to the hospital. Is there a better and more effective way to get rid of the child? If she really is pregnant, based on the timeline, it should be about two weeks. Because we lived together from the 1st to the 7th. The 12th to the 15th was her period.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I suggest you can do an early pregnancy test. You can buy test strips at general pharmacies for easy and simple testing. If it is really pregnancy, you can choose medication abortion or induced abortion, but both need to be done in a hospital. Medication abortion does not harm the uterus, is not easy to be completely cleared, and requires an ultrasound to ensure it is not an ectopic pregnancy before proceeding, otherwise it may lead to severe bleeding and endanger life. Induced abortion slightly harms the uterus but is relatively more thorough. I hope my advice brings you health!
