The best time for medical abortion during pregnancy

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

The best time for medical abortion. Gynecologists emphasize that the best time for medical abortion is within 49 days after menopause, which is within about 2.5 months after menopause. Because the uterus is not very large at this time, there is not much pregnancy tissue, and the fetus is small, it is very easy to suck out, the operation time is short, the adverse reactions are mild, and the bleeding is less. If the pregnancy exceeds 49 days, the gestational sac in the uterus will gradually grow. The longer the pregnancy, the larger the gestational sac. Therefore, drugs cannot completely expel the fetal sac, which can easily lead to internal bleeding and even threaten life. Many cases of failed abortions due to drugs are also very common.

The best time for medical abortion cannot guarantee a 100% success rate. Generally, the success rate of medical abortion is only 75%. If a woman performs a medical abortion at home without the guidance of a doctor, the 75% success rate may be greatly affected. Medical abortion is assisted by mifepristone. However, since it is not easy for the decidua to be discharged at the same time after abortion, it is easy to cause incomplete medical abortion, and ultimately surgical curettage is still required.
