What are the side effects of medical abortion?

A very small number of pregnant women can have miscarriage by taking Mifei. 80% of pregnant women expel the fluffy gestational sac within 6 hours after taking prostacyclin drugs; about 10% of pregnant women expel it within 1 week of taking the medicine. Therefore, if there is bleeding, pay attention to the discharge. If you discharge tissue at home, you must take it to a doctor for examination to determine whether it is hairy tissue.

According to the condition of the villi gestational sac that has been expelled or not, follow-up should be conducted at the designated medical institution within 8-15 days after taking the medicine as required by the doctor to determine the actual effect of medical abortion. Whenever medical staff confirm that medical abortion is unsuccessful or miscarriage is incomplete, artificial abortion must be performed to terminate the pregnancy.

Although the villus gestational sac has been discharged during medical abortion, the decidual tissue in the uterus is gradually discharged, so the bleeding time is longer, averaging 18-200 days. Some women may develop anemia or high risk of complications such as endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease due to heavy and prolonged bleeding. Therefore, medical abortion must be performed at a designated medical institution with outpatient curettage and intravenous drip, and must be selected and guided by a professionally trained physician. The patient must also take medicine, be observed, and be followed up as required to resolve the problem in a timely manner and properly handle the situation.

In the rare case of pregnant women experiencing unexpected conditions such as internal bleeding, abdominal pain, fever, etc., they should go to the designated medical institution for emergency treatment.

Even if the medical abortion is successful, normal women still need to take effective contraceptive measures after the abortion. Clinical medicine has found that many women do not have their periods after medical abortion, or become pregnant again within a short period of time without taking any contraceptive measures. In fact, whether it is surgical abortion or medical abortion, it will have a certain impact on the physical and mental health and psychological state of pregnant women, so it is better to do less.
