Doctor's answer:
Hello, medication abortion refers to the use of drugs to terminate a pregnancy within 49 days. Medication abortion involves taking mifepristone tablets and misoprostol orally to terminate a pregnancy within 49 days. This is achieved by using medication to reduce the activity of progesterone in the body. When progesterone activity decreases, it can lead to a miscarriage. The medication then causes strong contractions of the uterus, forcing the pregnancy tissue to be expelled.Medication abortion works by using drugs to cause the endometrium of the uterus to degenerate and die, soften the cervix, and induce uterine contractions, thereby forcing the embryo to be expelled. During this process, uterine contractions may cause pain, and the intensity of this pain varies from person to person due to differences in pain tolerance. Generally, the pain is manageable.
I recommend: Have an ultrasound examination at the hospital to check the development of the gestational sac, and use the medication under the guidance of a doctor. If you experience excessive vaginal bleeding or severe abdominal pain, you must seek medical attention immediately.
