How great is the risk of medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Eighty days pregnant, I don't want this child. Is an abortion hospitalization required? I'm so scared, afraid of heavy bleeding, and my stomach is also very big.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your situation, it is not advisable to have medication abortion at 80 days of pregnancy, as it is unlikely to be completely effective. The gestational sac has grown gradually, requiring a dilatation and curettage (D&C) or vacuum aspiration procedure. It is recommended that you seek a professional and regular hospital for an abortion surgery, and it is best to stay in the hospital for observation to avoid excessive vaginal bleeding or complications after the surgery. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion can pose certain risks to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For example, patients undergoing an abortion should take care to keep warm and avoid contact with cold water.
