What is the process of medical abortion and when is the best time for medical abortion?

Women can choose medical abortion before 49 days of pregnancy. Before doing medical abortion, they must first undergo a physical examination. If they meet the conditions for medical abortion, they can have medical abortion. The medication for medical abortion takes a total of three days. After taking the medicine on the third day, the pregnancy tissue will be expelled. After observation in the hospital, the patient can go home to rest if there is no abnormality.

After an unexpected pregnancy, if the pregnancy lasts no more than 49 days, a woman can choose to terminate the pregnancy through medical abortion to minimize the harm to the body. The process of medical abortion takes longer than surgical abortion and has more steps. Let's learn about the process of medical abortion!
1. What is the process of medical abortion?
1. Physical examination before medication <br/>Not all women are suitable for medical abortion. Before medical abortion, a full-body examination and gynecological examination should be done, such as urine pregnancy test, blood test, B-ultrasound examination, leucorrhea examination, etc., to see if the conditions for medical abortion are met. After the examination, if the conditions for medical abortion are met, the doctor will explain the method of taking the medicine and the possible side effects to the patient in detail, and the medicine can only be used after obtaining the patient's consent.
2. Medication <br/>The medication is taken for three days in total. Take mifepristone for the first two days and misoprostol for the last two days. Pay attention to fasting two hours before and after taking the medication. The current common dose of mifepristone is 150-200 mg, which can be taken all at once or in divided doses within 3 days. After taking the medication on the third day, you need to stay in bed. Generally, you will miscarry within two hours and be observed in the hospital for 6 hours.
2. The best time for medical abortion <br/>Generally speaking, women can have medical abortion within 7 weeks of pregnancy, that is, within 49 days. At this time, the gestational sac is smaller and the damage to the body is less. The best time for medical abortion is within 35-40 days. If it exceeds 49 days, it is not advisable to choose medical abortion, and other abortion methods can be chosen.
3. Precautions after medical abortion <br/>During the process of medical abortion, after the tissue is discharged, you still need to be observed in the hospital. If the amount of vaginal bleeding is not large, you can go home to rest. You must pay attention to rest within 2 weeks after the abortion, eat more nutritious food, and do not engage in heavy physical labor. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the private parts, and do not take a bath in a tub to avoid infection. There will be vaginal bleeding after abortion. If the amount of bleeding is large or lasts too long, you should see a doctor in time. After abortion, women may resume ovulation quickly, so you should take contraceptive measures during your usual sexual life to avoid getting pregnant again.
