Patient's question:
I got my period on the 9th of this month. Then on the 25th, it was almost the ovulation day. We had intercourse without a condom. Afterward, I took Mifepristone for emergency contraception, but it was bought from a small, unregulated shop. It doesn’t have an anti-counterfeiting code. I suspect it might be fake. Personally, I feel like I might be pregnant. I’ll go for a check-up in a few days. I’d like to ask, what’s the best day to go for pre-abortion tests? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, under normal circumstances, induced abortion can only be performed within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Because the earlier the induced abortion surgery is performed, the simpler and safer it is; conversely, the surgery becomes more complex, and the postoperative recovery time is also longer. Within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, the skeleton of the embryo or fetus has not yet formed, and generally, there is no need to dilate the cervix, making it easy to remove the fetal tissue. The reaction during the surgery is mild; there is less bleeding, and the surgery time is short. Postoperatively, rest for 1-2 hours is sufficient to go home, and recovery is also very quick.
