Patient's question:
We always use protection every time we do it~~But since the last time we finished, it's been almost a month and my period hasn't come yet~~I'm worried that I might really be pregnant~~If I really am pregnant, what are some safe and less painful ways to rule this out~~~
Thank you~~~~~~~~~
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is best to go to the hospital to check blood HCG to confirm if you are pregnant. A normal level is less than 49, and medication abortion can be used. Medication abortion uses mifepristone and misoprostol. First, you should have an ultrasound examination at the hospital to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. If it is an intrauterine pregnancy, take 2 tablets of mifepristone in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening for a total of 6 tablets, which can be taken for 2 days. On the third day in the morning, take misoprostol. Take them together, and note that you cannot eat anything 2 hours before or after taking the medication. Take the medication with cold boiled water. After taking the medication, you may experience vaginal bleeding. When going to the toilet, pay close attention to see if there are round, meat-like objects coming out. That is the gestational sac. After it is expelled, it is best to take some motherwort ointment and amoxicillin. If the bleeding amount is much more than your usual period, you should go to the hospital for timely treatment.
