When is the best time to have a medical abortion?

In the case of a pregnancy that is caused by human factors and the pregnancy does not want to continue, abortion is usually used to deal with it. There are two methods of abortion: surgical abortion and medical abortion. Both methods of abortion have their own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing, you can make targeted choices based on your actual situation. So the best time to use medical abortion is when? Let us introduce it below.

Medical abortion is generally a method of terminating early pregnancy by taking mifepristone tablets plus misoprostol to cause degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua, soften the cervix, and then uterine contraction to force the embryo out of the body. When is the best time for medical abortion?

There is a strict time limit for the use of medical abortion. It is suitable for terminating pregnancies within 49 days. That is, only women whose pregnancy does not exceed 49 days can undergo medical abortion. 49 days means one and a half months from the last menstrual period. The best time for medical abortion is within 49 days of pregnancy. Because in the first 49 days of pregnancy, the enlargement of the uterus is not very obvious, and there is not much pregnancy tissue fluid, and the fetus is relatively small, having a medical abortion within 49 days of pregnancy can also reduce some of the risks that may be caused by medical abortion. However, in order to ensure your own safety, you will need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time after the medical abortion to see whether the pregnancy tissue is clean. If the medical abortion is incomplete and not handled in time, it may cause heavy bleeding.

Of course, within 49 days of pregnancy is only a reference time for medical abortion. The specific time for medical abortion depends on the results of B-ultrasound examination. It is appropriate to do medical abortion when the gestational sac reaches a certain size. It is not as people usually think that the earlier the medical abortion is done, the better. However, if the pregnancy is more than 49 days, medical abortion is not allowed. This is because the gestational sac in the uterus will gradually grow larger as the pregnancy progresses. As a result, the gestational sac cannot be completely expelled from the body by drugs alone. It can easily cause heavy bleeding and even threaten life safety. Therefore, women who are preparing for medical abortion must grasp the time.

The best time to use medical abortion is the time introduced above. Medical abortion is most effective only if it is done at the right time and when the physical condition allows, so that there will be no adverse effects on the body. In addition, you should actively take care of your body after miscarriage to avoid other health problems.
