Precautions for taking medication for abortion

After many girls find out that they are pregnant, they easily think of using medication to abort themselves without so much trouble. However, if you don’t know what medical abortion is and you use it, you may cause some unavoidable harm to yourself during this period, and stomach pain is even more common. Therefore, you must know the precautions about medical abortion.

1. Generally, women who have a positive urine pregnancy test within 49 days of amenorrhea and wish to terminate their pregnancy must undergo an ultrasound examination before using medical abortion. Only after confirming that it is an intrauterine pregnancy and understanding the location and size of the gestational sac can they decide whether to have a medical abortion. If the gestational sac is in the cornu de los uteri or close to the cervix, medical abortion cannot be performed, otherwise heavy bleeding may occur, which is life-threatening.

2. If you are too young (less than 20 years old) or too old (more than 40 years old); have severe symptoms of irregular menstruation; have heart disease, hepatitis, endocrine disease, blood system disease, gastrointestinal ulcer, asthma and glaucoma; have ovarian cysts and gynecological tumors; are pregnant with an IUD; have a history of failed medical abortion or prolonged vaginal bleeding after medical abortion, etc., you cannot choose medical abortion.

3. Those who have recently undergone artificial abortion or have surgical scars on the uterus; those who use progesterone or other pregnancy-preserving drugs after pregnancy should also carefully choose medical abortion. These factors are likely to increase the failure rate of medical abortion and require another uterine curettage. Some women in early pregnancy will experience obvious adverse reactions after taking medications. At this time, the medication should be stopped immediately to avoid further effects of the medication.

4. Women who are pregnant early and want to have medical abortion should avoid going to medical institutions that do not have the conditions and technical capabilities to perform medical abortion. Only by strictly following the requirements of medical abortion, ensuring preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative observation, and postoperative follow-up, can pregnancy be terminated safely.
