What tests should be done before medical abortion?

Although medical abortion is much less painful than surgical abortion, women need to undergo some examinations before the procedure to see if their bodies are suitable for it. Because medical abortion is only for women who are in the early stages of pregnancy and have low progesterone levels. If the pregnancy is advanced and the fetus is growing rapidly, medical abortion may not be complete. So what examinations do women need to do before having medical abortion?

1.

Early pregnancy test: From the 7th day of a woman's pregnancy, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) will appear in her urine. By testing hCG in urine with an early pregnancy test, it is possible to detect whether a woman is pregnant. Of course, the early pregnancy test conducted by female friends alone at home can only be used as a reference. Only by going to a regular professional hospital for examination and diagnosis can it be truly confirmed whether they are pregnant.

B-ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination can, on the one hand, further confirm the pregnancy situation and rule out abnormal pregnancy such as ectopic pregnancy and hydatidiform mole; on the other hand, it can also determine the size of the gestational sac.

Routine examination of leucorrhea: Routine examination of leucorrhea is an important and reliable basis for judging whether a woman suffers from infectious Trichomonas vaginitis or candidal vaginitis. If a woman is found to have related inflammation, she must go to the hospital for treatment in time, otherwise the condition will worsen and cause recurrence. If necessary, chlamydia, mycoplasma and gonococci can also be tested.

Inflammation examination: Before medical abortion, an inflammation examination can be performed to find out whether the patient suffers from related gynecological inflammation. If symptoms of inflammation are found, further examination and treatment are needed. Generally, inflammation treatment is required before abortion, otherwise it is easy to cause various gynecological inflammations, such as adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, various vaginitis, cervicitis, etc.

Special Tips

Friendly reminder: The examination before medical abortion plays a crucial role in the success of the abortion, so female friends must not ignore it. If relevant gynecological inflammation is found during the examination, the inflammation needs to be treated first and then an abortion is performed to avoid infection. For the sake of women's health, experts recommend that women give priority to painless abortions when choosing a method of abortion, as they are less harmful to themselves and have a higher success rate.
