How long does the abortion process take and what is the best way to perform the surgery?

Patient's question:

Four and a half months have passed, and I need an abortion. I am 17 years old, and there is no signature or accompaniment from family members.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, many doctors study the use of medication abortion, using mifepristone combined with misoprostol for medical abortion. It also requires taking the medication for 3 days. The first 2 days of taking the medication show no significant abnormalities, but after taking misoprostol, uterine contractions will occur. Then, under the observation and guidance of a doctor, misoprostol is continued to maintain the labor process until the stillborn fetus is delivered. The entire process of contractions is approximately ten hours, but there is individual variation; it can be as short as a few hours or take 2-3 days.
