Can I have an abortion if I have a cold?

What is the best time for medical abortion?

The best time for medical abortion is generally within 7 weeks (49 days) of pregnancy (calculated from the start of menstruation). The most sensitive period for drug effect is 35-40 days. Medical abortion is a method of using drugs to cause degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua, soften the cervix, and simultaneously cause the uterus to contract, forcing the embryo out of the body. During this process, the patient will feel pain in the lower abdomen due to uterine contractions, and the pain will vary depending on individual tolerance.

Therefore, to terminate a pregnancy within 49 days, the use of drugs will cause the activity of progesterone in the body to decrease, causing miscarriage, and then the drugs will be used to cause strong contractions of the uterus, forcing the pregnancy tissue to be discharged from the body. Currently, the commonly used drugs are mifepristone tablets (Ru 486) and prostaglandins. The former causes degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua and softening of the cervix, while the latter causes uterine contraction and promotes the expulsion of the embryo.
