Is it okay to have a 41-day abortion with pills?

Medical abortion is one of the main choices for many women, and it is also a very recommended method of medical abortion in hospitals today. However, not all situations are suitable for medical abortion. It needs to be decided based on the woman's pregnancy status and fetal growth cycle. Only by performing medical abortion at the best time can the harm of abortion surgery to women be minimized. So is it good for your health to have a medical abortion at 41 days of pregnancy?

How many days is best for medical abortion

After female friends know the best time for medical abortion, they can increase the success rate of abortion. Many female friends think that medical abortion only requires taking medicine, but they ignore the best time for medical abortion. It may directly affect the final effect of medical abortion, and thus face the trouble of secondary abortion (uterine curettage). Medical abortion is only suitable for early intrauterine pregnancy within 49 days, when the average diameter of the gestational sac shown by B-ultrasound is less than 2.3 cm and the age is under 34 years old. Because the uterus is not too big at this time, there is not too much pregnancy tissue, and the fetus is also small, it is easy to suck out. The surgical abortion time is short, the side effects are mild, and the bleeding is little. Avoid exceeding 3 months. If it exceeds 3 months, the fetus will be formed and developed too large, and induced labor is the only option. The time to pregnancy is not calculated from the time of sexual intercourse.

The best time to have an abortion (artificial abortion) is within 10 weeks of pregnancy. Because the fetus is just beginning to develop and the intrauterine tissue is relatively simple at this time, the abortion surgery will be safer and the recovery after surgery will be faster. When female friends consider how long they should be pregnant before having an abortion, they must also be clear about which type of abortion surgery they want to choose.

If the pregnancy is more than 49 days, medical abortion is not allowed. This is because the gestational sac in the uterus will gradually grow larger as the pregnancy progresses, and as a result, medication alone cannot completely expel the gestational sac from the body.

What is the medical abortion process?

First, strict screening is required before medication, including medical history inquiry, full physical and gynecological examinations, laboratory tests such as urine pregnancy test, vaginal cleanliness, Trichomonas and fungi, blood routine and blood type, and B-ultrasound examination.

Second, the doctor explains in detail how to take the medicine, the efficacy of the medicine and possible side effects, and the patient can only use the medicine after he understands and signs.

Third, monitoring during the abortion process: During the hospitalization observation period, in addition to paying attention to blood pressure, pulse, and side effects of drugs, all urine and feces must be retained in a clean bedpan, and a dedicated person will check and record the presence of a gestational sac and its discharge time, the size of the gestational sac, and the amount of bleeding. If there is active bleeding before or after the expulsion of the fetal sac, uterotonics can be given or curettage can be performed immediately to stop the bleeding.

Fourth, if the fetal sac has not been expelled and the bleeding is not much after 6 hours of observation, you can go home and follow up on the date specified by the doctor. If tissue is passed at home, it should be brought to the doctor for examination. If vaginal bleeding is more than normal menstrual flow, go to the hospital for treatment in time.

To sum up, it is better to have medical abortion at 49 days of pregnancy, which is more than one month of pregnancy. However, whether it is medical abortion or artificial abortion, it is abortion in the final analysis. Children are innocent and have the right to live. Children are the apple of their parents’ eyes and parents must be responsible for their children to the end.
