Can I have an abortion by taking medicine when I am just pregnant? Let's find out

Medical abortion is simple and convenient to use, but it also causes certain harm to the female body. In order to reduce the negative impact of medical abortion on the female body, post-medical abortion care must be kept up in time. So, can you take medicine to have an abortion when you are just pregnant?

When you are just pregnant, you usually find out about 7 to 10 days after your period. At this time, the pregnancy is just about 40 days old. Medical abortion is only suitable for pregnant women within 49 days of pregnancy. If it exceeds 49 days, you cannot use medical abortion to terminate the pregnancy. So even if you are just pregnant, pregnant women should go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Only by performing B-ultrasound can the exact number of days of pregnancy and the size of the gestational sac be diagnosed. If the government and early pregnancy time range are suitable for medical abortion, most doctors will recommend medical abortion to pregnant women.

However, if it has been more than 49 days and the gestational sac has grown larger, or if it has not been more than 49 days and the position of the gestational sac has grown unreasonably, doctors will not recommend that pregnant women use medical abortion, because the failure rate of medical abortion at this time will be relatively high. There are many cases where the abortion is not clean or there is no pregnancy left. At this time, pregnant women need to undergo another uterine curettage operation, which will experience double the pain. Therefore, for the above two situations, doctors will recommend pregnant women to undergo surgical abortion, so as to ensure that the abortion is relatively clean and will not bring hidden dangers to future physical health and reproductive function.

In short, whether pregnant women can have an abortion by taking medicine depends on the exact number of days of pregnancy. As long as the pregnancy is within 49 days, the gestational sac is relatively small, and the location of growth is easy to carry out medical abortion, the doctor will agree to medical abortion and give certain drugs. However, if there are some conditions that do not meet the standards for medical abortion, the doctor will not recommend medical abortion to pregnant women.
