Can taking medication cause a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Doctor, I had a one-time sexual encounter with my boyfriend a few months ago, and it's been several months since then. I've noticed that I might be pregnant because I haven't had my period for a long time. Could you please tell me if taking medication can terminate the pregnancy? If so, what kind of medication can be used? If not, how much does it cost to have an abortion at the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

There are many methods for miscarriage, which can be medication-induced or a D&C procedure. The D&C procedure can also be considered as an anesthesia-induced abortion. Generally, if the pregnancy duration is less than 49 days, medication-induced abortion can be considered. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any method of abortion can cause certain damage to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Patients undergoing abortion should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold water.
