Patient's question:
I am 21 years old. Around September 2004, I accidentally got pregnant and underwent medication-induced abortion. This December, I tested positive for an unexpected pregnancy again. Can I still undergo medication-induced abortion?My last menstrual period ended on October 25th, but it didn’t come again until December 3rd. Later, I took a pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant. Can you tell me how far along I am?
How many days into the pregnancy can one undergo medication-induced abortion?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Generally, medication abortion can be performed within 49 days of pregnancy, and multiple medication abortions may affect the effectiveness of the medication. The pregnancy duration is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. If you are within 49 days pregnant, you can choose medication abortion or surgical abortion. The abortion rate of medication abortion is relatively low, and incomplete abortion is more common. If the medication abortion is incomplete, a uterine aspiration procedure may be required. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an examination and choose an appropriate surgical abortion method based on your pregnancy duration, gestational sac size, and other conditions, following medical advice.
