What medicine should I take before having an abortion?

As the number of cases of unwanted pregnancies is gradually increasing, many women choose to have artificial abortions. Before having an abortion, doctors will give women three pills. In fact, the main function of these three pills is to expand the woman's cervix and make the curettage operation go more smoothly. And when choosing abortion, women must also be mentally prepared, because abortion will cause great pain and great harm to the female body.

The three pills I took were misoprostol.

It can dilate the cervix, making it looser during surgery, making it easier for the doctor to enter and operate.

Curettage is the most commonly used method for early induced abortion. Although curettage does not require surgery, it is also a gynecological surgery and must be performed under strict disinfection. The operation is divided into two steps. The first step is to dilate the cervix to a sufficient size, and the second step is to use a curette to extend into the uterine cavity and scrape out the embryo.

The longer the pregnancy lasts, the larger the fetus will be. At this time, the cervix needs to be dilated to the maximum limit to scrape out the fetus, so scraping the uterus becomes more difficult. At the same time, the longer the pregnancy lasts, the softer the uterus will become, and the chance of piercing the uterus during surgery will naturally increase. Therefore, generally speaking, curettage can only be used to scrape out the fetus within three months of pregnancy, and it is not advisable to use curettage after three months.
