Taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets can cause nausea. Should the medication be stopped?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I take drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol tablets and feel nauseous? Can I stop taking the medication?

Doctor's answer:

It is best to consider a conventional surgical procedure for miscarriage. Medical abortion is prone to incomplete miscarriage, which can lead to severe bleeding. Painless abortion can easily cause uterine perforation. It is preferable to undergo a hysteroscopic-guided dilatation and curettage (D&C) procedure. Postoperatively, there are no residual tissues, so it does not cause severe bleeding, making it the safest method for miscarriage.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of induced abortion will have some impact on the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to postoperative care and health maintenance. Patients undergoing induced abortion should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
