Patient's question:
Menstruation came on the first of December! Tested today and it seems I'm pregnant! Menstruation hasn't come for 18 days! How old do you think the baby is likely to be! When is it appropriate to have a miscarriage! Mechanical or medication-induced? Which one is less harmful?!Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is most ideal to be performed within 49 days of pregnancy. If incomplete miscarriage occurs, it is important to promptly visit a local hospital's gynecology department for a uterine aspiration procedure to prevent excessive bleeding duration or volume, which could interfere with health. Medication abortion works by using drugs to cause the endometrium to degenerate and become purulent, soften the cervix, while the uterus contracts, forcing the embryo to be expelled outside the body. Medication abortion is relatively less harmful. If it is not completely effective, a uterine aspiration is still required. Surgical abortion can be performed under anesthesia, and it is completed once you wake up.
