Do you need to have a color ultrasound before a medication abortion?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Do I need to have a color ultrasound before taking medication for an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is not necessary to do this. Medication-induced abortion typically takes about 3 days from medication intake to the expulsion of the gestational product. Traditional surgical abortion procedures significantly shorten this time, usually taking around half an hour, and are accompanied by discomfort in women, sometimes even severe pain. The most advanced Vivi Safe Painless Abortion procedure currently available, however, reduces the embryo removal time to approximately 3 minutes. The Vivi Safe Painless Abortion utilizes a thin and flexible micro-catheter, eliminating the need for cervical dilation, allowing direct entry and exit within the uterine cavity. It shapes itself according to the uterine shape and directly targets the gestational sac for aspiration, completing the entire procedure in just 3 minutes.
