How to treat unexpected pregnancy with medication abortion

Sometimes, when women do not take proper protective measures during sexual intercourse, it may lead to an unexpected pregnancy. At this time, if they do not have enough ability to raise a baby, they will choose to have a medical abortion. However, because it is the first time to have a medical abortion, they don’t know what to do. Then, the editor will bring you methods on how to have a medical abortion for an unexpected pregnancy.

Medical abortion is suitable for early pregnancy. But it may not be successful at once; if the abortion is not performed properly, it will damage the endometrium. But no matter which method is used, it must be performed in a regular hospital to avoid the serious consequence of infertility.

The key to having a medical abortion is to do it early, so people with regular menstrual cycles can detect pregnancy immediately. Medical abortion is applicable in the early stages of pregnancy (39 to 49 days from the first day of the last menstrual period). Before undergoing medical abortion, an ultrasound examination must be performed. First, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy must be ruled out; secondly, the size of the gestational sac must be measured. A gestational sac larger than 2.3 cm is not suitable for medical abortion. In addition, the entire process of medical abortion is relatively long. You need to take medicine at home for 3 days first, and then take cervical dilation drugs in the hospital on the day of abortion. You will be observed in the hospital for several hours, and the doctor will confirm whether the fetal sac is expelled from the body. Another point we would like to remind everyone is that medical abortion has a 5% failure rate. If it is unsuccessful, artificial abortion will be needed to remedy the situation.

The bleeding time after medical abortion is relatively long. If the bleeding continues for more than 1 week, you must go to the hospital immediately and ask the doctor for help. Taking medication on your own to induce an abortion is very dangerous.

In addition to considering future fertility issues, it is also safer for breastfeeding women with a softer uterus to choose medical abortion. Women who have had cesarean sections have scars on their uteruses, and women with uterine fibroids may have changes in the shape of their uteruses. In these two cases, it is more difficult to perform an artificial abortion, and medical abortion can also be considered.

Compared with artificial abortion and medical abortion, no instrument enters the uterus during medical abortion, the possibility of infection after abortion is relatively small, and the possibility of endometrial injury is also small. During the process of artificial abortion, the suction device must enter the uterine cavity and scrape out the attachments on the inner wall of the uterus. If the doctor performing the operation is experienced, the endometrium will not be injured. However, improper operation will damage the endometrium. The endometrium is like a "field". If the endometrium is scarred, the "seeds" may not have the "soil" to grow and develop in the future.

In recent years, there is also a technology that uses general anesthesia during abortion, which makes the operation almost painless. It is suitable for people who are sensitive to pain and those who are afraid of miscarriage. However, the pregnant woman is required to have normal cardiopulmonary function and no allergic reaction to anesthetics.

Experts advise female friends that no matter which method is used, it must be performed in a regular hospital (only Grade II A hospitals or above are qualified to perform this type of operation) and must not be performed in a small clinic that does not have the necessary qualifications to practice. Otherwise, the inflammation may cause blockage of the fallopian tubes, leading to serious consequence of infertility.

No matter which method is used, it is a last resort remedy and has certain risks, and may even be life-threatening. The best way is to use appropriate contraceptive methods to reduce unwanted pregnancies.

The above is the relevant article about how to have a medical abortion in case of unexpected pregnancy. I hope that after reading the above article, you can have a comprehensive understanding of medical abortion. If you have a medical abortion, you should also pay more attention to rest and take good care of your body.
