Patient's question:
I only found out I was pregnant last week, and now the baby is about 30 days old. Recently, I haven't been eating much and have been a bit sleepy. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it would be better to have an abortion. But I don't want my parents and family to know—I just want to do it quietly and save some money. What kind of help do I need: How much does medication abortion cost?Doctor's answer:
From your description, you have been pregnant for about 5 weeks. If you need a check-up, a general ultrasound is usually sufficient to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy. The cost is generally around 100 yuan. In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is unstable, so it's best to rest more and avoid excessive fatigue. During the first three months of pregnancy, folic acid should be taken, and nutrition should be increased. Drinking more soy milk also helps prevent miscarriage.Generally, only tertiary hospitals can perform this procedure, with costs around a few hundred yuan. However, prices vary among different hospitals. This involves a blood test. Before undergoing medication-induced abortion, a B is required to rule out ectopic pregnancy while checking the size and location of the gestational sac, as well as screening for cervical and vaginal inflammation.
If there are no contraindications to medication and the pregnancy duration is relatively short, medication-induced abortion can be chosen. It's important to monitor the expulsion of the pregnancy products. If the abortion is incomplete, a follow-up D&C procedure may be necessary.
