Why is medical abortion recommended?

Because medical abortion is affordable and relatively convenient, it has become the choice of many unmarried pregnant women. But why do doctors recommend medical abortion and uterine curettage? The main reason is that medical abortion is very prone to incomplete abortion. What are the causes of incomplete abortion, and how to prevent and solve incomplete medical abortion? Now, let's learn about it together with the editor.

Why is medical abortion recommended?

Generally, the success rate of medical abortion is very low, and incomplete abortion is very likely to occur. If medical abortion occurs, it is not always necessary to perform uterine curettage, because incomplete medical abortion will immediately leave residual test tube embryo tissue in the uterus, and it may continue to grow and develop. Therefore, uterine curettage must be performed to remove the remaining tissue. If the medical abortion is incomplete and the uterus is not cleaned, it is easy to cause uterine infection and various complications. If the uterine wall is damaged, it may also destroy the implantation site of the fetus, thereby causing infertility. Internal bleeding may also occur. Excessive bleeding may cause hemorrhagic shock or anemia, which seriously endangers one's personal safety, so everyone should pay attention to it.

Causes of incomplete medical abortion

1. The use of drugs varies from person to person. If you do not follow the doctor's specific instructions and take abortion drugs blindly, you will suffer from it.

2. No examination was conducted before medical abortion, including determining the pregnancy cycle, ectopic pregnancy test, fetal sac size test, various inflammation tests, heart function and liver function tests. Examination before medical abortion is an important way to ensure the success of medical abortion. All of the above-mentioned factors may cause incomplete abortion.

3. Weak coagulation. Abnormal uterine bleeding causes the coagulation function to be too slow, resulting in heavy bleeding. This condition may cause internal bleeding.

4. Infection and inflammation during medical abortion may cause incomplete decidua removal and lead to incomplete abortion.

How to prevent and solve incomplete medical abortion

1. If the bleeding is not heavy, you can take a certain amount of abortion drugs as an additional measure.

2. Use oxytocin to expel the fetal sac under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Under the guidance of a doctor, take drugs such as Gongxuening (not suitable for gastrointestinal diseases) and Motherwort (not suitable for diabetes). These drugs have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and blood-activating effects, can assist uterine contractions, and are beneficial for the expulsion of undischarged decidua and fetal sac tissue.

4. If infection or inflammation occurs during medical abortion, anti-inflammatory measures should be taken immediately.

5. Once it is determined that the abortion may be incomplete due to medical treatment, see a doctor immediately for relevant examinations to determine whether other methods such as curettage should be used for treatment.

If you are careless, it may cause serious harm to the woman's body.
