Does taking the abortion pill hurt?

Today's society is very open and sexual life has become very easy. Some people do not know how to protect themselves, which leads to unwanted pregnancies. If you have an unexpected pregnancy that cannot be made public, or if you cannot go to a regular hospital for an abortion due to financial constraints, medical abortion becomes the best option. When taking abortion pills to terminate a pregnancy, you will definitely worry about various reactions and pain. So, does it hurt to take the abortion pill?

Abortion pills are made up of two drugs, one is mifepristone and the other is migoprostol. There is generally no abdominal pain or bleeding when taking mifepristone, but there may be side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding only begin after taking misoprostol, and then the embryo flows out with the blood.

What should I pay attention to when taking abortion pills?

1. When taking abortion pills, you must pay attention to whether your pregnancy is within 49 days. If it exceeds this time, it is best not to take abortion pills to avoid life-threatening danger.

2. You should fast for 1 hour before and after taking abortion pills and drink warm water; when taking Chinese medicine tablets, you should not take anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretic sedatives, or antibiotics at the same time, so as not to reduce the abortion effect.

3. Do an ultrasound before taking abortion pills to confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, do not take abortion pills.

4. When taking abortion pills, you must take them for 2 days first. If there is tissue discharged during vaginal bleeding, you should go to the hospital for examination. If the weather is hot, you can soak it in white wine and send it there. Although there is tissue discharged, it is not necessarily a complete miscarriage. You should still go to the hospital to take abortion pills as early as the 3rd day to reduce subsequent bleeding.

5. When taking abortion pills, you must ensure that the pregnant woman is in good physical condition and has no contraindications. The so-called contraindications include: past or current severe systemic diseases, liver or kidney dysfunction, allergic constitution, heart disease, hypertension, anemia, asthma, glaucoma, pruritus during pregnancy, etc., as well as suspected ectopic pregnancy, long-term and large-scale medication, smoking more than 10 cigarettes a day, alcoholism, etc.

6. After taking the abortion pill, pay attention to nutritional supplements and regular daily life, increase high-protein diet, such as eggs, milk, chicken, fish, and eat vegetables and fruits; keep the vulva clean and hygienic, and avoid washing your hair and taking a bath with cold water. Because the condition after miscarriage is similar to that after childbirth, the body's resistance is reduced and it is easy to be exposed to cold, which causes joint and muscle pain.
