How many weeks of pregnancy can I have a medical abortion?

Nowadays, although people's sexual attitudes have become more open, many people, especially younger girls, still know little about contraception. As a result, the number of unwanted pregnancies is increasing. Of course, after an unexpected pregnancy, if there are no conditions to give birth to the child, the pregnancy can be terminated through medical abortion. So, at what weeks of pregnancy can medical abortion be performed?

1. Suitable Situations

1. Healthy women who have amenorrhea within 49 days, are diagnosed with early pregnancy, are under 40 years old and voluntarily request to end their pregnancy.

2. High-risk pregnancies that are not suitable for surgical abortion, such as those after childbirth, recent cesarean section, recent artificial abortion, multiple consecutive artificial abortions, abnormal uterine position, reproductive tract malformations, history of uterine perforation, pelvic spinal limb deformities that cannot adopt the lithotomy position, etc.

3. Women who have a fear of surgical abortion.

2. Best time

After female friends know the best time for medical abortion, they can increase the success rate of abortion. Many female friends think that medical abortion only requires taking medicine, but they ignore the best time for medical abortion. It may directly affect the final effect of medical abortion, and thus face the trouble of secondary abortion (uterine curettage). Medical abortion is only suitable for early intrauterine pregnancy within 49 days. The average diameter of the gestational sac shown by B-ultrasound examination is less than 2.3 cm.

The best time to induce abortion with medication is within 49 days after pregnancy, and avoid exceeding 3 months. If it exceeds 3 months, the fetus will have already formed and grown too large, and induced labor is the only option. The time to pregnancy is not calculated from the time of sexual intercourse.

The best time to have an abortion (artificial abortion) is within 10 weeks of pregnancy. Because the fetus is just beginning to develop and the intrauterine tissue is relatively simple at this time, the abortion surgery will be safer and the recovery after surgery will be faster. When female friends consider how long they should be pregnant before having an abortion, they must also be clear about which type of abortion surgery they want to choose.

3. Precautions after medical abortion

1. After the tissue is discharged, you need to stay in the hospital for observation for 1 hour. If the vaginal bleeding is not too much, you can go home and rest.

2. Get adequate rest within 2 weeks after miscarriage, eat nutritious food, and avoid heavy physical labor.

3. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum. Do not take a bath or have sexual intercourse when vaginal bleeding has not stopped.

4. In the first 2 to 3 days after abortion, the amount of vaginal bleeding is generally equivalent to or slightly more than the menstrual amount. If the amount of vaginal bleeding is heavy or persistent, seek medical attention promptly.

5. Patients with no tissue discharge should be observed for 2 weeks after taking the medicine, and attention should be paid to whether there is any tissue discharge during defecation and urination. Weekly urine pregnancy tests.

6. Ovulation may resume soon after miscarriage, so contraceptive measures should be taken to avoid pregnancy again.
