Is medical abortion followed by uterine curettage considered induced labor?

If the gestational sac is too large and the abortion is not complete after medical abortion, a uterine curettage is needed. Generally speaking, this kind of uterine curettage will have a certain negative impact on the recovery of the uterus. Therefore, after the uterine curettage, you must strengthen good conditioning, pay attention to diet, maintain adequate rest, and pay more attention to psychological and emotional aspects to avoid negative emotions such as depression and tension.

Medical abortion is generally a method of terminating early pregnancy by taking mifepristone tablets plus misoprostol to cause degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua, soften the cervix, and then force the embryo out of the body through uterine contraction. When is the best time for medical abortion?

There is a strict time limit for the use of medical abortion. It is suitable for terminating pregnancies within 49 days. That is, only women whose pregnancy does not exceed 49 days can undergo medical abortion. 49 days means one and a half months from the last menstrual period. The best time for medical abortion is within 49 days of pregnancy. Because in the first 49 days of pregnancy, the enlargement of the uterus is not very obvious, and there is not much pregnancy tissue fluid, and the fetus is relatively small, having a medical abortion within 49 days of pregnancy can also reduce some of the risks that may be caused by medical abortion. However, in order to ensure your own safety, you will need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time after the medical abortion to see whether the pregnancy tissue is clean. If the medical abortion is incomplete and not handled in time, it may cause heavy bleeding.

Of course, within 49 days of pregnancy is only a reference time for medical abortion. The specific time for medical abortion depends on the results of B-ultrasound examination. It is appropriate to do medical abortion when the gestational sac reaches a certain size. It is not as people usually think that the earlier the medical abortion is done, the better. However, 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. As a result, the gestational sac cannot be completely expelled from the body by drugs alone. It can easily cause heavy bleeding and even threaten life safety. Therefore, women who are preparing for medical abortion must grasp the time.

During the medical abortion process, women should pay attention to various physical conditions to prevent sudden situations during the process or harm to the body due to improper handling. There are many things to pay attention to during medical abortion. Let’s learn about the precautions for medical abortion.

1. Before medical abortion, an ultrasound examination must be performed to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy and to understand the size and position of the embryonic sac.

2. Medical abortion must be for women who conceived within 49 days of amenorrhea and are under 40 years old.

4. Medical abortion should be performed in a hospital. Choose a regular hospital and do not do it yourself at home.

5. Take the drugs for medical abortion according to the doctor's instructions and on time. After taking the medicine, you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions and go for follow-up visits on time.
