What will happen if the gestational sac exceeds 23 cm?

As we all know, a gestational sac will form in a woman's uterus after she becomes pregnant. As the pregnancy progresses, the gestational sac will continue to grow larger, thus ensuring the normal development of the fetus. Medical abortion means that when the gestational sac is still small, the gestational sac is expelled from the body through drug stimulation, thereby achieving the effect of abortion. However, medical abortion is only suitable when the gestational sac is still small. If the gestational sac is fully developed, medical abortion will not be clean. So, what will happen if the gestational sac exceeds 23 cm and medical abortion is required?

What is a gestational sac?

The gestational sac is the original placental tissue, a small embryo wrapped by the amniotic membrane and vascular network. The gestational sac is the initial form of pregnancy. At that time, the fetus has not yet formed, and the fetal heartbeat is already there when the embryonic bud appears. The gestational sac is only seen in early pregnancy. For women who have regular menstruation of 28 to 30 days, after 35 days of amenorrhea, the gestational sac can be seen in the uterine cavity by B-ultrasound. The gestational sac is also a product of ectopic pregnancy. The fertilized egg fails to enter the uterus at 7 days due to certain factors such as inflammation and adhesion. Ectopic pregnancy usually causes heavy bleeding, and generally the fetus cannot survive.

Can I have medical abortion if the gestational sac is more than 20mm?

Medical abortion is suitable for patients with intrauterine pregnancy within 49 days of pregnancy who have no contraindications to taking medication. If the gestational sac is about 13X13x20mm in size, medical abortion can be performed. Pay attention to whether the gestational sac is discharged and vaginal bleeding.

If the gestational sac does not exceed 20mm, abortion can be achieved through medical abortion. The drugs for medical abortion are not available in general pharmacies. They must be purchased in the hospital and used under the guidance of a doctor. Especially the drugs on the last day should be taken in the hospital to prevent heavy bleeding. However, if the gestational sac is larger than 20mm, medical abortion is not recommended as it may not be complete and may even put the pregnant woman's life in danger.

Therefore, if the gestational sac is larger than 20mm and the pregnancy lasts more than 49 days, medical abortion is not recommended. It is best to use induced abortion surgery. But here, the editor would like to say that abortion is a harmful and sad thing for women. If you do not plan to have a baby, it is best to take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse.
