Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for over fifty days. Due to a misdiagnosis at the hospital, they mistook my pregnancy for a cyst. I took a week's worth of Western medicine intended to induce menstruation. Additionally, I took two tablets of Ganlik when I had a cold. Could you please tell me if this fetus is healthy and can be kept? If it cannot be kept, is it better to have a medication-induced abortion or a surgical abortion?First follow-up question: The medicine used to induce menstruation is called Progesterone Tablets, and I took it for about five days—twice a day, with five tablets each time. This was around when the fetus was about 25 days old.
Doctor's answer:
Hello! The progesterone you are taking, Gan Gong Progesterone, has been reported to easily cause fetal sexual ambiguity (female masculinization) and is now listed as a drug contraindicated for pregnant women. To support fetal development, progesterone injections should be used instead of synthetic Gan Gong Progesterone. Additionally, a cold during early pregnancy is not good for the fetus. Therefore, if you are not facing significant difficulty in getting pregnant, it might be better to consider an induced abortion.
