What are the benefits of medical abortion?

Many female friends feel very scared and worried after an unexpected pregnancy because they are now unable to raise a child, so they need to have an abortion. Many people are particularly afraid when it comes to abortion because abortion requires surgery, and surgery is really a particularly scary word. Therefore, many female friends now use medical abortion after pregnancy. Medical abortion does not require surgery, which brings a lot of convenience to many women. So what are the benefits of medical abortion? Let's take a look.

Is it really that simple to have an abortion with medicine? Can it be cured by just taking the medicine? In fact, medical abortion has extremely high requirements, and in recent years, the success rate of medical abortion has generally declined. The reason is that people's physical fitness has generally declined, resulting in a decrease in the success rate of medical abortion, and they have to face the pain of curettage again. You need to go to the hospital for examination before having a medical abortion.

First, pregnancy must be confirmed. Based on the history of amenorrhea, a positive pregnancy test can generally be diagnosed as pregnancy, but trophoblastic diseases such as ectopic pregnancy and hydatidiform mole must be ruled out. If an ultrasound shows a gestational sac in the uterus 45 days after menstruation, it can be confirmed as an intrauterine pregnancy; if there is no gestational sac in the uterus but there is one outside the uterus, it can be diagnosed as an ectopic pregnancy; if there is no gestational sac in the uterus but there is a snowflake-like shadow, it can be considered as a hydatidiform mole. Medical abortion can only be performed if intrauterine pregnancy is confirmed.

Advantages of medical abortion

2. Avoid surgical abortion, no need to enter the uterine cavity, and the chance of infection is significantly reduced

3. If the abortion fails, the pain of surgical curettage is less than that of artificial abortion.

4. It takes 3-4 days to complete medical abortion, during which time you can work normally.

Contraindications of medical abortion:

1. Contraindications of mifepristone: endocrine diseases, chronic diseases such as liver or kidney dysfunction, various benign or blood diseases or thrombotic diseases, hypertension, etc.

2. Contraindications of prostaglandin drugs: patients with heart disease, glaucoma, asthma, gastrointestinal dysfunction and allergic constitution;

3. Pregnant women with intrauterine contraceptive device;

4. Ectopic pregnancy (ectopic pregnancy), or suspected ectopic pregnancy;

5. Smokers who smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day or are alcoholics;

6. If you cannot go to the hospital in time after taking the medicine, it is best not to use medical abortion, so as to avoid delaying the treatment if you cannot go to the hospital in time in an emergency;

7. Allergic constitution;

8. Anemia;

9. Long-term use of rifampicin, isoniazid, anti-epileptic drugs, antidepressants, cimetidine, aspirin, indomethacin, and barbiturates
