Is medical abortion harmful when pregnant?

Nowadays, many people choose medical abortion when they have an unexpected pregnancy. First, it is more convenient, and second, it is more private, so more people choose medical abortion. But we also know that compared with medical abortion, surgical abortion is quick to take effect, can excrete quickly, has a high success rate, and is much more secure than medical abortion. So let’s find out whether medical abortion during pregnancy is harmful.

How long does it take to recover from a medical abortion? If you are within seven weeks of pregnancy, you can consider medical abortion, and the process is relatively convenient. If the time is longer, medical abortion will not be suitable. Medical abortion, also known as drug abortion, refers to the use of oral medications to terminate early pregnancy. In recent years, it has been widely used in clinical practice. Medical abortion is suitable for healthy women whose menstruation has stopped within 49 days, who have confirmed intrauterine pregnancy and are under 40 years old and voluntarily request to end their pregnancy, who have no history of chronic diseases or allergic asthma, and who have not received glucocorticoid treatment in the past 3 months.

Medical abortion can be performed within 49 days of pregnancy. The safety of medical abortion at 50 days of pregnancy is very low because it is usually performed within seven weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, women should pay attention to the time of operation. Medical abortion has significant side effects and can easily lead to incomplete abortion. It also requires uterine curettage, which causes great damage to the uterus.

The best time for medical abortion is within 49 days after menopause, that is, within two and a half months after menopause, because at this time the uterus is not too large, there is not too much pregnancy tissue, and the fetus is also small, making it easy to suck out. The operation time is short, the side effects are mild, and the bleeding is less. If the pregnancy lasts more than 49 days, the gestational sac in the uterus will gradually grow. The longer the pregnancy lasts, the larger the gestational sac will be. Therefore, the medicine cannot completely expel the gestational sac, which can easily cause heavy bleeding and even threaten life. Many examples of failed medical abortions are also very common.

Once the period exceeds 49 days, medical abortion is not recommended. There will be certain adverse reactions during medical abortion, including nausea and abdominal pain. A few women will also have spasmodic abdominal pain, which will have a certain impact on health. If the bleeding time is long and the amount of bleeding is heavy after medical abortion, it can also lead to anemia and infection. Even if you know the best time for medical abortion, you should still carefully consider whether to have a medical abortion based on your personal circumstances.
