Does medical abortion require hospitalization?

Medical abortion is also known as medical abortion. It does not require hospitalization. You only need to be observed in the hospital for a few hours after taking the medicine. An ultrasound examination is required before medical abortion to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, because ectopic pregnancy cannot be treated with medical abortion. Medical abortion must be performed within 50 days of amenorrhea, and the mother must be under 34 years old, because it is very dangerous for older mothers to have medical abortion.

Medical abortion, also known as drug abortion, refers to the use of Mifepristone tablets plus misoprostol to terminate early pregnancy. In recent years, it has been widely used in clinical practice and is a very popular drug for preventing early pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, abortion can be achieved without surgery by injection or medication. The use of drugs to terminate pregnancy and medical abortion is the latest development in the past 20 years. Currently, the commonly used drugs are mifepristone tablets (Ru 486) and prostaglandins. The former causes degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua and softening of the cervix, while the latter causes uterine contraction and promotes the expulsion of the embryo.
