Dosage for medical abortion

Nowadays, both weather pollution and food pollution are becoming more and more serious, affecting people's health. Some pregnant women are also deeply affected. The fetus stops developing inexplicably and there is no fetal movement. Some need medical abortion, but little is known about the dosage of medical abortion. Let's learn about it together.

Medical abortion is usually performed within 7 weeks (i.e. 49 days) of pregnancy (calculated from the end of menstruation). The most sensitive period for medical abortion is between 35 and 40 days, while surgical abortion can be performed within 12 weeks after knowing the pregnancy.

Medical abortion generally requires taking two kinds of medicine. First, take medicine to inhibit embryo development. After 2-3 days, take medicine to contract the uterus to expel the embryo. Most people will experience abdominal pain caused by uterine contractions two hours after taking the latter medicine. Generally, you can go home after six hours of observation in the hospital. After that, bleeding will continue for 1-2 weeks. After that, you can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound to see if it has been completely expelled. Experts remind that even if you choose medical abortion, you must go to the hospital for it, and do not buy medicine at will.
