Patient's question:
I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. It's been eight days since my period was supposed to start, and I don't want this child. Can I have a medication abortion? I had a natural miscarriage in August.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, this is also a viable option for medication-induced abortion. However, you must undergo a gynecological ultrasound examination at a public hospital to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy. Generally, the best time for medication-induced abortion is around 49 days after a missed period. Before undergoing medication-induced abortion, you need to have a color Doppler ultrasound to check the size of the gestational sac and how it is positioned within the uterine cavity. However, medication-induced abortion must be carried out under the direct guidance of a doctor.
