Is it safe to have a medical abortion one month into pregnancy?

Abortion is a very common phenomenon nowadays. I often hear friends say that their colleagues or friends have had a miscarriage. The baby is still young and they want to choose medical abortion, but they know very little about it. Is it safe to use medical abortion one month into the pregnancy? Let me show you how.

The most appropriate time for medical abortion is within 7 weeks (i.e. 49 days) of pregnancy (calculated from the end of menstruation). The most sensitive period for the drug is between 35th and 40th days, while abortion can be performed within 12 weeks after knowing the pregnancy. Therefore, it is safe to use medical abortion within one month of pregnancy.

Medical abortion is mainly for early pregnancy less than 45 days. How to perform medical abortion? The process of medical abortion is:

1. Strict screening before medication, including asking about medical history, conducting a full physical examination and gynecological examination, laboratory tests such as urine pregnancy test, vaginal cleanliness, Trichomonas and fungi, blood routine and blood type, and B-ultrasound examination when necessary.

2. The doctor will explain in detail how to take the medication, the efficacy of the medication and possible side effects, and the medication can only be used after obtaining consent.

3. Take mifepristone orally for the first two days and misoprostol orally on the last day. Fast for two hours before and after taking the medicine. Stay in bed after taking prostaglandin on the last day because miscarriage will occur within two hours.

The current commonly used dosage is: Mifepristone is 150-200 mg, which can be taken all at once or divided into several doses within 3 days.

4. On the third day, go to the hospital to take prostaglandin preparations: 1 mg of Carprostol suppository placed in the vagina or 600 micrograms of misoprostol taken orally. Observe in the hospital for 6 hours.
