How long does it take to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy?

Early abortion is a common remedy for contraceptive failure. When the embryo is still relatively small, the uterus is not large, and the placenta has not yet formed, the pregnancy can be terminated using curettage or vacuum aspiration. So, when is the best time for an abortion? The best time for an abortion is generally before 9 weeks of pregnancy. However, to finally determine how long you can have an abortion, you also have to refer to some preoperative examination results. However, if the embryo is too large, or even has grown bones, it cannot be sucked out with the largest straw. In this case, you can only be hospitalized and induce labor with drugs or water bags, and then have the uterus cleaned after the embryo and most of the placenta are expelled.

If induction of labor fails, curettage is needed, which is to use an instrument to directly scrape the embryo and placenta out of the uterus. This operation is risky and can easily cause cervical injury and increased bleeding during the operation. It also increases the risk of infection, uterine injury, and postoperative intrauterine adhesions. Therefore, if you plan to terminate an unexpected pregnancy, try to do it within 2 months of pregnancy.

When is the best time for medical abortion? The best time for medical abortion is generally within 49 days of pregnancy. If it exceeds this time, it is better to adopt other abortion methods. In fact, even if you have an abortion at the best time for medical abortion, there is no guarantee of a 100% success rate. Generally, the success rate of medical abortion is only 75%. If a woman secretly performs a medical abortion at home without the guidance of a doctor, the 75% success rate will be greatly reduced.

Medical abortion is a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol. 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 surgical curettage is still required in the end. Moreover, medical abortion can cause prolonged vaginal bleeding and easily lead to infection. It is more likely to cause endometritis and salpingitis and lead to secondary infertility than painless abortion. It should be noted that medical abortion requires professional medical personnel to help observe the fetus and bleeding during the abortion process. Oral medications may cause discomfort, etc., so they can be dealt with in a timely manner. Therefore, you cannot perform a medical abortion at home.
