What are the effects of using misoprostol tablets before an abortion?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Before an abortion using misoprostol tablets, what are the effects?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, taking misoprostol before can soften the cervix, enhance uterine contractions, and increase intracavitary pressure. When used in combination with mifepristone sequentially, it can terminate early pregnancy within 49 days. For reference.
After pregnancy, due to the effect of estrogen on the breasts, itching of the breasts may sometimes occur. However, do not scratch to prevent injury. After delivery, as the level of estrogen in the body decreases, this symptom will gradually disappear without requiring special treatment.
