Patient's question:
This month, my period was delayed by a week. I took a pregnancy test and confirmed that I am pregnant. I haven't even gotten married and am not ready to be a mother, so I don't want this child for now. It's said that miscarriage can be done through medication or surgical procedures. Is it really that painful? I'm so scared.What kind of help do I need: What should I do if I'm pregnant and how can I terminate it?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Medical abortion uses the anti-pregnancy drugs mifepristone and misoprostol to achieve the purpose of terminating pregnancy. Once progesterone is lacking in the body, it can cause miscarriage. Misoprostol can induce strong contractions of the uterus, forcing the pregnancy tissue to be expelled from the body. The damage caused by medical abortion is relatively minor. In contrast, induced abortion causes relatively greater damage and is more prone to infection.
