Can I have a medical abortion if I am pregnant with an IUD? See what the doctor says

Patients with IUD pregnancy can take medication, but artificial abortion is usually recommended. Bleeding after abortion lasts for a long time and the amount of bleeding is large. Some people may not have a complete abortion with medication. A curettage operation must be performed, so the damage to the endometrium is great, the risk is high, and the recovery period is long. Therefore, it is not recommended for women with IUD to choose medical abortion.

In life, even if some women have an IUD, they may still get pregnant. In this case, if you don't want the child, you should consider terminating the pregnancy. Usually, abortion can be done with medication and painless abortion. The medication process is more convenient, does not require surgery, and is less harmful. So, can abortion be done with medication when pregnant with an IUD?
Under normal circumstances, the probability of pregnancy with an IUD is 10%~15%. The main reason why pregnancy with an IUD is easy to occur is that the IUD does not fit in the uterine cavity or is displaced in the uterine cavity, or appears to be separated or ectopic, which leads to the possibility of conception with the IUD. Many women have a higher body sensitivity. When the IUD is placed in the body, foreign body stimulation is produced on the uterus, which involuntarily enhances contraction. When this rejection reaches a certain level, it may cause the IUD to detach. If you are in the same room at ovulation, it may cause pregnancy with the IUD. Although the IUD can play a contraceptive role to a large extent, the contraceptive success rate of the intrauterine device is about 85%-90%, but contraceptive failure may also occur.
In fact, medical abortion can also be performed after pregnancy with an IUD, but artificial abortion is generally recommended. Because the abortion takes a long time, the amount of bleeding after medical abortion is large. Medical abortion may not be complete, and uterine curettage is required afterwards. The damage to the endometrium is great, the risk is high, and the recovery period is long.
Medical abortion with an IUD may result in the incomplete expulsion of the embryo and cause heavy bleeding, while the IUD may affect uterine contractions. You can choose ordinary abortion or painless abortion. After the pregnancy is confirmed, the abortion must be performed after an ultrasound examination has ruled out ectopic pregnancy. Whether preparing for medical abortion or artificial abortion, relevant examinations must be performed after pregnancy to confirm that it is an intrauterine pregnancy. Abortion requires abortion and anesthesia within 45 to 70 days of pregnancy. Medical abortion must be performed within 49 days of pregnancy, and after it is confirmed that it is an intrauterine pregnancy, the procedure must be performed in a hospital with regular rescue conditions.
Therefore, for women with IUDs, medical abortion is not recommended, and artificial abortion is recommended within 10 weeks of pregnancy. However, if you insist on using medical abortion or use it without knowing it, you need to pay attention to the following:
1. Pay attention to rest after medical abortion. Generally, you need to stay in bed for about half a month. You should not engage in heavy physical labor or come into contact with cold water.
2. In terms of diet, you need to eat more iron-rich foods, such as beef, lean meat, pork liver, egg yolks, etc.
3. Pay attention to personal hygiene and sexual life. After medical abortion, it is best to have sexual intercourse after 1 month and avoid getting pregnant again.
