What are the methods of medical abortion?

After an unexpected pregnancy, female friends must prepare for childbirth as soon as possible and adjust their mentality. However, many friends do not have the conditions for childbirth and raising children after pregnancy, so they have to make a choice about whether to keep the child or not. So let's take a look at the methods of medical abortion.

Medical abortion, also known as drug abortion, refers to the use of oral drugs to terminate early pregnancy. In recent years, it has been widely used in clinical practice. It is a new development in the past 20 years to use drugs to terminate pregnancy without surgery in the early stages of pregnancy, but by injection or medication. Currently, commonly used drugs cause degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua, soften the cervix, or excite the uterus and contract the uterus, prompting the expulsion of the embryo.

Principle: Medical abortion is suitable for terminating a pregnancy within 49 days. After taking the medicine, the activity of progesterone in the body decreases, causing miscarriage. Then the medicine causes the uterus to contract strongly, forcing the pregnancy tissue out of the body. Medical abortion is to use medicine to cause the uterine decidua to degenerate and necrotize, the cervix to soften, and the uterus to contract, forcing the embryo out of the body. During this process, the patient feels pain in the lower abdomen due to uterine contraction, and this pain varies depending on the individual's tolerance.

Applicable population: 1. Healthy women under 40 years old who have voluntarily requested to terminate their pregnancy, with menopause within 49 days and confirmed intrauterine pregnancy. 2. No history of chronic diseases or allergic asthma. 3. Those who have been confirmed positive by B-ultrasound examination and urine pregnancy test. 4. Women who have not received glucocorticoid treatment in the past 3 months.

Advantages 1. Medical abortion avoids the pain and certain complications of surgical abortion and achieves the purpose of artificial abortion 2. Medical abortion is easy to use, simple to take, does not require curettage, the pain is relatively small, and the effect is basically reliable. 3. Medical abortion is suitable for healthy women who are 5 to 7 weeks pregnant and are not suitable for surgical abortion, especially those with scarred uterus, lactating uterus, uterine malformation, and women who have had abortions within six months or have had multiple abortions to terminate early pregnancy.
