What is the best time for medical abortion?

Pregnant women who have decided to have a medical abortion should not waste time at home. Usually, they should go to the hospital for a medical abortion around 49 days into their pregnancy. If they exceed this time, the risk of medical abortion will become greater. Many pregnant women can only choose some artificial abortion operations based on their physical conditions, which will cause greater harm to their bodies.

Medical abortion, also known as drug abortion, refers to the use of Mifepristone tablets plus misoprostol to terminate early pregnancy. In recent years, it has been widely used in clinical practice and is a very popular drug for preventing early pregnancy. It can achieve artificial abortion in the early stages of pregnancy without the need for surgery, but by injection or medication. The use of drugs to terminate pregnancy and medical abortion is the latest development in the past 20 years. Currently, the commonly used drugs are mifepristone tablets (Ru 486) and prostaglandins. The former causes degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua and softening of the cervix, while the latter causes uterine contraction and promotes the expulsion of the embryo.

Medical abortion is suitable for terminating a pregnancy within 49 days. After using the drug, the activity of progesterone in the body decreases, causing miscarriage. The drug is then used to cause the uterus to contract strongly, forcing the pregnancy tissue out of the body.

Medical abortion is a method of using drugs to cause degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua, soften the cervix, and simultaneously cause the uterus to contract, forcing the embryo out of the body. During this process, the patient will feel pain in the lower abdomen due to uterine contractions, and the pain will vary depending on individual tolerance.

Abortion, also known as abortion or artificial miscarriage, or simply "abortion", is the act of intentionally ending a pregnancy, removing an embryo or causing fetal death. If the fetus has been formed for more than three months, it is called "miscarriage" or "partial birth"; if abortion or miscarriage occurs more than three times in a row, it is called "slippery miscarriage".

Before abortion or miscarriage, there are usually symptoms such as fetal movement disorder, spotting, and abdominal pain, which should be prevented and treated early. After an abortion or miscarriage, if there are no obvious symptoms, you can follow the general postpartum conditioning. If the bleeding does not stop after an abortion or miscarriage, or even faints, and the face is pale, it is mostly due to the inability of the qi to retain the blood. If there is continuous bleeding in the vagina, it is mostly due to residual blood stasis. If there is little "lochia" and the lower abdomen is hard and painful and refuses to be pressed, it is mostly due to blood clotting. Abortion has many dangers, which may cause cervical injury, bacterial infection, etc.
