How long does it take for the drug to be effective?

Medical abortion is a relatively common method of abortion nowadays. If people do not want the fetus in their belly after an unexpected pregnancy, they will choose medical abortion. However, before doing so, you should check your body first to make sure there will be no danger. Generally, you will feel the obvious pain after 24 hours, so you should take good care of your body to prevent some sequelae.

1. Medical abortion avoids the pain and certain complications of surgical abortion and achieves the purpose of artificial abortion

2. Medical abortion is easy to use, simple to take, does not require curettage, is relatively less painful, and the effect is basically reliable.

3. Medical abortion is suitable for healthy women who are 5 to 7 weeks pregnant and are not suitable for surgical abortion, especially those with scarred uterus, lactating uterus, uterine malformation, and those who have had an abortion within six months or have a history of multiple abortions to terminate early pregnancy.

1. Strict screening before medication, including asking about medical history, conducting a full physical examination and gynecological examination, and laboratory tests such as urine pregnancy test, vaginal cleanliness, Trichomonas and fungi, blood routine and blood type, and B-ultrasound examination.

2. The doctor explains in detail how to take the medication, the efficacy of the medication and possible side effects. The patient can only use the medication after he or she understands and signs.

3. Monitoring during abortion: During the hospitalization observation period, in addition to paying attention to blood pressure, pulse, and side effects of drugs, all urine and feces must be retained in a clean bedpan, and a dedicated person will check and record the presence of a gestational sac and its discharge time, the size of the gestational sac, and the amount of bleeding. If there is active bleeding before or after the expulsion of the fetal sac, uterotonics can be given or curettage can be performed immediately to stop the bleeding.

4. If the fetal sac has not been expelled and bleeding is not excessive after 6 hours of observation, you can go home and follow up on the date specified by the doctor. If tissue is passed at home, it should be brought to the doctor for examination. If vaginal bleeding is more than normal menstrual flow, go to the hospital for treatment in time.

After medical abortion

(1) Hygiene and contraception after medical abortion should be taken more seriously.

(2) During medical abortion, retrograde infection is prone to occur due to new trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, attention should be paid to local hygiene. Showers should be taken instead of baths in a tub to prevent sewage from entering the vagina and causing infection. No sexual intercourse for one month.

(3) Rest for 1 to 2 weeks after medical abortion and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within one month after an abortion to avoid reduced resistance and inducing other diseases.

Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
