Patient's question:
How effective is the use of mifepristone?Doctor's answer:
Hello:Mifepristone has a steroid structure and is an antiproliferative hormone. It interferes with the supporting effect of progesterone on pregnancy at the uterine receptor level, causing the degeneration of the chorionic villi and decidua, the release of endogenous prostaglandins, a decrease in luteinizing hormone, and the atrophy of the corpus luteum. This leads to the necrosis of the embryo sac that depends on the corpus luteum for development, resulting in miscarriage. It is a safe, reliable, and effective non-surgical method for terminating early pregnancy.
