If you want an artificial abortion, medical abortion is simple and convenient, so why don’t doctors recommend it?

When women get pregnant unexpectedly, they will choose artificial abortion if they do not want to continue the pregnancy. Among the many abortion methods, medical abortion is the simplest and most convenient one. However, many women find that when they want to have an abortion, doctors do not recommend medical abortion, which makes them feel strange. Why is the simple and convenient method not recommended? There is actually a reason.

What is medical abortion?

As the name suggests, medical abortion involves taking oral medications to achieve an artificial abortion without the need for surgery. It is simpler, more convenient and saves time than other abortion surgeries.

Why don’t doctors recommend medical abortion?

1. Low success rate

Although medical abortion is convenient and can be induced by taking medicine, its success rate is only close to 75%. If the abortion is not clean, a uterine curettage will be required later. If the abortion is not clean, a uterine curettage will cause greater damage to the uterus.

2. Causes pain during uterine contractions

Some women are more sensitive to pain and will feel unbearable pain due to uterine contractions during medical abortion. In addition, the pain caused by medical abortion lasts for a long time, which can make women suffer.

3. Heavy bleeding

Vaginal bleeding will occur after taking the medicine, and the bleeding will last for a long time, which will affect women's life and work. Some accidents may even cause heavy bleeding and endanger their lives.

4. Conditions

Not all pregnant women can have medical abortion. There are certain conditions and restrictions. If medical abortion is not performed within the conditions, it may cause accidents.

What are the restrictions on medical abortion?

1. Age must not exceed 40 years old

Because the drugs used in medical abortion surgery achieve the effect of abortion by regulating ovarian secretions, the ovaries of women over 40 years old gradually decline, and taking drugs can easily accelerate the decline and cause menstrual disorders.

2. Within 49 days of pregnancy

Pregnant women must have medical abortion within 49 days of pregnancy. The longer the pregnancy, the higher the risk of medical abortion. Because the fetal heartbeat and fetal bud gradually develop after 49 days, medical abortion is not easy to be clean at this time, and the chance of needing uterine curettage in the later stage also increases.

3. Confirmation of intrauterine pregnancy

It is necessary to clearly confirm whether the gestational sac is implanted in the uterus. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, medical abortion cannot be chosen as it will cause an accident.

In short, if a woman accidentally gets pregnant and wants to terminate the pregnancy through abortion, she should follow the doctor's instructions. Remember not to be blind and don't think that medical abortion is convenient and simple and you can directly choose it. The doctor will choose the most suitable one according to the physical condition. In addition, if you don't plan to get pregnant, you should take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse to avoid multiple abortions that damage the endometrium and the body, and even cause adhesions of the fallopian tubes, which can cause the eggs to not be discharged normally and reduce fertility.
