How much harm does medical abortion do to women?

1. The amount of vaginal bleeding after medical abortion is less. You should go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination one week later to confirm the condition of the embryo. If the embryo is not dead and continues to grow, curettage can terminate the pregnancy; if the embryo is dead but not expelled, curettage can remove the pregnancy products in the uterine cavity and prevent bleeding and infection.

2. If after a miscarriage, although the embryonic sac is seen being discharged, there is vaginal bleeding that is not clean, or the bleeding is sometimes more and sometimes less, sometimes not, and lasts for more than three weeks, and B-ultrasound examination shows residual tissue, then a uterine curettage is required so that the endometrium can gradually repair itself.

3. Patients usually need to stay in the hospital for 4-6 hours after taking the medicine. During the observation period, regardless of whether the embryonic sac is seen to be expelled, as long as the patient has severe vaginal bleeding, uterine curettage should be performed immediately to stop the bleeding.

Precautions before medical abortion

1. Perform B-ultrasound examination before medical abortion to rule out ectopic pregnancy and understand the size and position of the embryonic sac to help determine whether medical abortion is suitable.

2. During medical abortion, retrograde infection is prone to occur due to new trauma to the uterus and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, attention should be paid to local hygiene. It is better to take a shower instead of a tub bath to prevent sewage from entering the vagina and causing infection. No sexual intercourse for one month.

3. Rest for 1 to 2 weeks after medical abortion and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within one month after an abortion to avoid reduced resistance and inducing other diseases.

4. Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion, or is even accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
