A few hours of medication

Medical abortion is also a method of artificial abortion that more and more women choose. Medical abortion mainly uses drugs to shed the endometrium, thereby achieving the purpose of killing the embryo. However, if you want to have a medical abortion, you need to do it under the guidance of a professional doctor, because if you are not careful, it may cause harm to the female body. Under normal circumstances, how many hours does medical abortion take?

In most cases, the drug mifepristone taken by women who terminate their pregnancy through medication will cause the endometrium to deciduousize, the embryonic tissue to degenerate and necrotize, and slowly fall off. Women who need to terminate their pregnancy through medication need to take three tablets of misoprostol at one time under the supervision of a professional doctor the next day after taking six tablets of mifepristone. Within six hours after taking misoprostol, the misoprostol will soften the cervix and cause the uterus of women who want to have an abortion to contract violently, thereby smoothly expelling the shed endometrium, gestational sac, placenta and other embryonic tissues from the vagina.

For most women who need to terminate their pregnancy through medication, the embryonic tissue in the uterus can be completely expelled within six hours after taking the abortion drug. However, some women are not very sensitive to the abortion drugs used, so after taking the abortion drugs, the time for the embryo to be discharged will be prolonged. However, if the embryonic tissue in the uterus has not been completely discharged smoothly within 24 hours after medical abortion, you must go to the hospital for examination.

The above is the explanation on how many hours it will take for medical abortion to occur. Although a very small number of women who terminate their pregnancy through medication are able to successfully expel the embryonic tissue seven days after the abortion, the chance of this happening is very small, and the residual embryonic tissue staying in the uterus for a long time can easily lead to uterine cavity infection.

Precautions for medical abortion

1. 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).

2. Go to a hospital with emergency treatment, curettage, blood transfusion and infusion facilities for medical abortion, and observe carefully to prevent any accidents.

3. Take medicine strictly according to the doctor's instructions and go for follow-up visits on time.

4. The medicine cannot be taken continuously and cannot be taken as a common contraceptive.

5. The expelled tissue must be collected and taken to the doctor to determine whether the embryo was expelled completely.

6. Before taking the medicine, you must have an ultrasound examination to understand the size and position of the embryonic sac to help determine whether medical abortion is suitable.

7. After miscarriage, you can take Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

8. If bleeding lasts for more than 10 days, go to the hospital for treatment.

9. Rest for at least 3-5 days after miscarriage.
