Can I have a medical abortion at 35 days of pregnancy?

Under normal circumstances, the earlier the pregnancy, the higher the success rate of abortion, and the abortion at this time will cause less damage to the woman's uterus. Women also have to choose between surgical abortion or medical abortion based on their personal circumstances. Medical abortion has become a method of abortion chosen by more and more women because compared with surgical abortion, medical abortion eliminates the need for surgery. So if you are 35 days pregnant, can you have a medical abortion?

Can I have a medical abortion at 35 days of pregnancy?

Medical abortion can usually be chosen within 49 days of pregnancy.

The best time for abortion is 35-49 days. The gestational sac in the uterine cavity is clearly visible under B-ultrasound. At this time, the gestational sac is not large and the uterine wall is thicker, so the gestational sac is easy to remove. Relatively speaking, it does little harm to the body, has a low surgical risk, and recovers quickly. It is recommended to go to a regular gynecological hospital for an examination first. The doctor will choose the appropriate operation for you based on the examination results.

For high-risk pregnancies that are not suitable for surgical abortion, such as those after childbirth, recent cesarean section, recent artificial abortion, multiple consecutive artificial abortions, abnormal uterine position, reproductive tract malformations, history of uterine perforation, pelvic spine and limb deformities that cannot adopt the lithotomy position, etc., medical abortion can be performed based on the doctor's judgment.

In addition, young women who are pregnant for the first time or have not given birth; women with diseases of the heart, liver, kidney, reproductive, or endocrine system, or who are addicted to smoking or drinking; pregnant women with a long pregnancy, a large gestational sac, an older age, and multiple pregnancies, a history of artificial abortion or cesarean section within six months, or those who are in the postpartum lactation period, or those with uterine malformations or uterine fibroids, are not suitable for medical abortion. Therefore, if an unexpected pregnancy is discovered, a painless abortion is recommended.

What are the dangers of medical abortion?

In fact, as an abnormal way to terminate pregnancy, medical abortion has great hazards or risks. Women who are preparing to undergo medical abortion should make the following psychological preparations before taking it.

1. Failure of medical abortion. In fact, there is still no drug that can guarantee the complete expulsion of the gestational sac after medical abortion. There are still quite a lot of examples of failure of medical abortion in clinical practice. If not handled properly, it is equivalent to having two abortions.

2. Excessive blood loss. Bleeding usually occurs after medical abortion and normally returns to normal within a week. However, if there is heavy bleeding or bleeding does not stop and blood transfusion cannot be given in time, it may be life-threatening. Therefore, before medical abortion, you must pay attention to whether you can meet the conditions for timely medical treatment.

3. Low success rate: In recent years, there are many cases of infertility and gynecological inflammation caused by going to the hospital for curettage surgery due to poor abortion results from medical treatment. Mifepristone, which is used for medical abortion, has only been around for a little over a decade, and clinical trials are not sufficient. The success rate is only 75%.
