Symptoms of miscarriage will only appear after 12 hours. Don't be anxious. Lie down to rest or read a book or watch TV. If tissue flows out, remember to put it in a container and take it to the hospital for the doctor to test. By the way, do an abdominal B-ultrasound to see if it is clean. If the amount of bleeding after miscarriage is greater than the amount of menstruation, go to the hospital immediately.

Medical abortion can only be performed if it is an intrauterine pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, medical abortion may cause heavy bleeding. When is the best time for medical abortion? The best time for medical abortion is generally within 7 weeks (49 days) of pregnancy (calculated from the start of menstruation). The drug is most sensitive between the 35th and 40th days, while abortion can usually be performed within 12 weeks of knowing the pregnancy.

Medical abortion generally requires taking two kinds of medicine. First, take the medicine to inhibit the development of the embryo. After 2-3 days, take the medicine to contract the uterus to expel the embryo. Most people will experience abdominal pain caused by uterine contractions two hours after taking the latter medicine. Generally, you can go home after being observed in the hospital for six hours after taking the medicine. Bleeding will continue for 1-2 weeks afterwards. Afterwards, you can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound check to see if it has been completely eliminated. Experts remind that even if you choose medical abortion, you must go to the hospital to do it and do not buy the drugs on your own.

What are the dangers of medical abortion?

1. Cause infection : Medical abortion takes longer than artificial abortion. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely discharged, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and vaginal bleeding lasts longer, which can last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often travel back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

2. Impact on fertility : It can cause repeated damage to the endometrium. Due to damage to the endometrium, women are more likely to develop placenta previa when they become pregnant in the future, which can cause heavy prenatal bleeding. Due to multiple miscarriages, some women may also experience habitual miscarriages.

3. Affect ovarian function : inhibit ovarian function, affect the growth and development of follicles and even ovulation. What are the dangers of medical abortion? Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which is manifested as a shortened or prolonged menstrual cycle. The harm of medical abortion to the body includes increased menstrual flow.

4. Incomplete abortion : Not all women are suitable for medical abortion. If the abortion is incomplete, it will affect the contraction of the uterus and the repair of the endometrial wound, and significantly increase the amount of vaginal bleeding, which is 2 to 3 times more than the normal menstrual volume. In severe cases, heavy bleeding may occur, leading to anemia and shock. At this time, blood transfusion and emergency surgery for curettage and hemostasis are required.
