How many days do you take for medical abortion?

At present, artificial abortion is mainly divided into two types: surgical abortion and medical abortion. The former is more common, but because the latter is highly secretive and relatively cheap, some women also choose medical abortion to solve the problem. Medical abortion requires taking medication, but the specific time of use is not very clear. So, how many days do you need to take medication for medical abortion? Let’s take a look below.

Generally, it takes 3-4 days to take medication for medical abortion.

1. Check before taking medication

Before performing medical abortion, the mother must undergo a comprehensive examination by a doctor, ask about her medical history, and do routine leucorrhea, blood tests, B-ultrasound, etc. to determine whether medical abortion is suitable for her.

2. Detailed introduction before taking the medicine

The doctor will carefully explain the drug usage, dosage, efficacy and possible dangerous situations to the patient and his family. After the patient agrees, the doctor will prescribe the medicine.

3. Medical abortion

Take mifepristone tablets orally in the first 2-3 days, and misoprostol tablets orally on the 3rd-4th day. You need to fast for two hours before and after taking the medicine. After taking misoprostol tablets, you need to rest in bed for 1-2 hours and be observed in the hospital for 6 hours. Pregnant mothers need to pay attention to blood pressure, pulse, side effects of drugs, pay close attention to vaginal discharge, and keep urine and feces in a clean potty. The specific usage and dosage requires a doctor's prescription, and pregnant mothers must follow the doctor's advice.

4. Observation after medical abortion

Although medical abortion does not require surgery, pregnant mothers still need to rest at home for about 2 weeks and observe vaginal bleeding at any time. If excessive bleeding or other symptoms occur, they need to go to the hospital immediately.

Many people believe that medical abortion is not a surgery and does not have much impact on the body. But in fact, medical abortion can also cause harm to the body. If you don’t get enough rest, you may not feel any discomfort at the time, but you may have back pain and abdominal pain in the future. In severe cases, there will be long-term pelvic congestion. Therefore, it is best to rest for 2 weeks after medical abortion, adjust your diet, and recover well.
