Many women have unexpected pregnancies. If they do not want the child, they must choose the best time to get rid of the child as soon as possible through abortion. Therefore, many women want to fully understand the best time for abortion through medicine. The following content provides a detailed introduction, so many women who want to have an abortion can have a comprehensive understanding.

The best time for medical abortion

Regarding the best time for medical abortion, experts say that the best time for medical abortion is to terminate the pregnancy within 49 days after an unexpected pregnancy. Of course, this is only a reference time. The specific time for medical abortion is mainly based on the results of B-ultrasound examination. It is appropriate to do medical abortion when the gestational sac reaches a certain size. It is not as people usually think that the earlier the medical abortion is done, the better.

However, it is generally not recommended to use it after 49 days. The time for medical abortion is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. Medical abortion is only suitable for women who are pregnant (intrauterine pregnancy) within 49 days of amenorrhea (the effect is best within 45 days of pregnancy).

The whole process of medical abortion

The whole process of taking medicine. There are two main drugs used for medical abortion in China, namely mifepristone and misoprostol. The normal way to take it is: take mifepristone on an empty stomach for 2 consecutive days (the dosage is as prescribed by the doctor), and it is best to fast for 2-3 hours before and after taking the medicine. On the third morning, take misoprostol again on an empty stomach.

When taking mifepristone, the adverse reactions are mild and most women do not feel anything. After taking the medicine, you can go home and work as usual. A few people may experience mild dizziness, abdominal pain, and a small amount of vaginal bleeding (bleeding or not does not affect the abortion effect). After taking misoprostol, about 70% of people will expel the fetal sac within 4-6 hours. You will need to stay in the hospital during this period, and the doctor will observe your bleeding, abdominal pain, and discharge. Because the waiting time is long, you can bring some food and newspapers to the hospital, and it is best to prepare some sanitary napkins.

What does the discharge look like? The fetal sac that is discharged with the blood is pink, fleshy tissue, and sometimes a small blister can be seen in it. If the fetal sac is not expelled during observation in the hospital, pay attention to vaginal discharge after returning home. At this time, special attention should be paid to distinguishing it from blood clots (blood clots are dark purple or black red, with a uniform and soft texture). After one week, you should take the discharge to the hospital for a follow-up examination. A small number of women (4%-5%) will expel the gestational sac by taking mifepristone alone. If the bleeding is not too much, you can use a clean small bottle to store and retain the discharge and take it to the hospital for examination on the third day (the day when you originally scheduled to take misoprostol). If the bleeding is heavy, you should immediately take the discharge to the hospital emergency room.

Bleeding after abortion Women who receive medical abortions generally have longer vaginal bleeding after abortion than women who receive curettage. If the menopause lasts only about 35 days, the bleeding is generally less. If the number of days without menstruation is longer, the bleeding time will also be longer. Overall, the average number of days of bleeding is 14-18 days. Therefore, you should return to the hospital for a follow-up check-up about 2 weeks after the miscarriage. If bleeding persists for 3 weeks, or if the amount of bleeding is heavy and accompanied by blood clots, a curettage should be performed promptly to avoid sequelae that may affect future pregnancies.

The best time for medical abortion is specifically introduced above for many women. Therefore, for many women, they must choose the best time for medical abortion through the above introduction. Through such a time, they can find a trustworthy hospital as soon as possible and have an abortion through medicine. This way, they can achieve successful abortion as soon as possible and cause less harm to their body.
