What should I check for medical abortion?

If a woman does not want a child, she should take contraceptive measures. When an unexpected pregnancy occurs, if she wants to have a medical abortion, it is best to do so within 49 days. In addition, the woman's physical condition should be checked when the abortion is performed. It is best to choose a day when her physical condition is best. Then check the size of the gestational sac and whether there is an ectopic pregnancy. After the abortion, women should pay more attention to rest to promote their body's recovery.

What tests are needed before medical abortion?

1. B-ultrasound: The hospital uses B-ultrasound to see the gestational sac and judge the size of the gestational sac based on the B-ultrasound. The main purpose of this examination is to detect whether it is an ectopic pregnancy.

2. Early pregnancy test: Seven days after a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin can be detected in her urine, and the hospital can use it to confirm the pregnancy.

3. Inflammation examination: Check whether there are any symptoms of inflammation. If so, further examination and treatment are needed. Generally, treatment is required before medical abortion to prevent the inflammation from ascending and causing gynecological inflammations such as adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, various vaginitis, cervicitis, etc.

4. Routine examination of leucorrhea: This examination is to understand whether there are Trichomonas and fungi in the vagina of pregnant women. If necessary, chlamydia, mycoplasma and gonococcus should also be tested. If the above microorganisms are present, it is easy to cause ascending infection during medical abortion, affecting the development of the embryo during subsequent pregnancies and inducing miscarriage.

5. Electrocardiogram, liver function and other examinations: in case special treatment is needed during medical abortion. 6. Blood test is also a check method before medical abortion. It mainly checks the blood routine to see if there are other inflammations.

The dangers of medical abortion

Medical abortion is not a panacea. Due to the lack of technology or improper methods of medical abortion itself, it may cause serious harm to the health of pregnant women.

1. Causes Inflammation

After medical abortion, the gestational sac will usually be expelled on the same day, but there may be incomplete expulsion of the pregnancy tissue, making it difficult for the uterine membrane to recover and causing persistent vaginal bleeding, which may last for 2 to 3 weeks, and in severe cases, may last for 1 to 2 months. Such long-term continuous blood loss is likely to lead to anemia and may also cause endometritis.

2. Low success rate

In recent years, many women have needed to go to the hospital for uterine curettage surgery because of incomplete medical abortion, which has caused gynecological inflammation. In more serious cases, the tragedy of infertility may even occur. The reason for this is that in medical abortion, the main drug used is mifepristone. However, this drug has only been around for a dozen years, so trials for its clinical use are not sufficient and detailed enough. Currently, the success rate of medical abortion is only 75%.

3. Cause infertility

The hazards caused by incomplete medical abortion also include: fallopian tube blockage, uterine and ovarian damage, etc., which can lead to infertility and cause irreparable harm to pregnant women.

4. Repeated medical abortion is harmful

(1) The first thing you need to understand is that medical abortion achieves the purpose of abortion by hindering the normal function of endocrine, so medical abortion is more or less harmful to the body;

(2) Medical abortion can also cause certain damage to the ovaries, and generally speaking, the recovery time of this damage is also relatively long.

(3) Medical abortion may cause continuous bleeding, which may cause anemia and low immunity in pregnant women, and damage their health.

(4) Medical abortion may also cause vaginal infection, and the harm to the body should not be underestimated.

Another point that needs to be emphasized is that many women may have misunderstandings about medical abortion, thinking that medical abortion is as normal as menstruation and will not cause harm to the body. Therefore, not enough attention is paid to contraceptive measures, and medical abortion is performed after pregnancy. Some people may do it 2 or 3 times a year, which causes great harm to their bodies.
