What should I pay attention to and how many days of rest I need to take after a medical abortion?

Medical abortion refers to a method of using drugs to terminate early pregnancy. Clinically, it can only be limited to embryos within 49 days of pregnancy. The advantage of medical abortion is that the method is simple and does not require entering the uterus, but the harm of medical abortion is as great as that of artificial abortion. Its purpose is to remove the placenta outside the uterus. The mechanism of action of medical abortion is to promote the contraction of uterine muscles, promote the opening of the cervix, and then discharge the embryonic tissue. Medical abortion recommends resting for two weeks. It is not necessary to rest completely in bed for two weeks. Appropriate activities can be done to help restore the body and uterine contraction.

Precautions after medical abortion:

1. If the pregnancy tissue in the patient's body is small and the patient goes to the hospital to be diagnosed with incomplete abortion, you can try to use drugs again to expel the remaining pregnancy tissue.

2. If the residual pregnancy tissue in the patient's body is large, or the effect of another medical abortion is not obvious, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for a uterine curettage to scrape away the pregnancy tissue.

3. If there is still heavy bleeding two weeks after medical abortion, and the amount of bleeding is more than the menstrual volume, you must go to the hospital.

Medical abortion is harmful to the uterus:

1. Medical abortion causes relatively little harm to women because pregnancy is terminated by taking medicine, so there is no trauma to the uterus and body. However, the biggest disadvantage is that it can easily lead to prolonged bleeding in the body after abortion.

2. Due to vaginal bleeding, the cervix is ​​open, and bacteria can easily enter the uterine cavity from the cervix, so it is easy to cause pelvic inflammation.

3. Medical abortion may not be clean, resulting in residual endometrial tissue in the uterine cavity. If there is too much residual tissue, a uterine curettage is required to expel the residue.
