Patient's question:
35 days, I have been taking medication all along and am worried about its impact on the fetus, so I plan to have a medication abortion. Before doing so, I don't know what tests are required. I would like to know how long medication abortion takes and what precautions are best to follow. Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello, generally, the gestational sac is expelled within three days of medication abortion, but bleeding usually lasts for about a week. It is best to go to the hospital for observation so that timely treatment can be provided if necessary. Medication abortion should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor within 49 days after the fertilized egg is confirmed to have implanted via ultrasound. Do not use medication at home on your own, as there is a risk of severe bleeding. An abortion should be performed at the hospital between 2-3 months of pregnancy. Termination of pregnancy can cause significant harm to the body, potentially leading to various gynecological diseases and the possibility of infertility. An abortion procedure must be performed only after an ultrasound confirms that the pregnancy is intrauterine. Avoid sexual intercourse for one month. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness of the lower body to prevent gynecological infections.
