Eight-week medical abortion

Medical abortion is the most convenient and economical way for women to choose abortion. It does not involve an operating table; women can also have an abortion at home. But everything needs to be done under the guidance of a doctor. Medical abortion is different from surgical abortion. It has many requirements for pregnant women and there are also restrictions on the time of abortion. Generally it needs to be within 49 days, which is within seven weeks. If you are already eight weeks pregnant, you need to have a surgical abortion under the doctor's advice.

Some pregnant women who do not want children after being pregnant for a period of time will choose medical abortion or surgical abortion. It depends on the specific situation. It is best to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound and decide based on the actual situation. Some pregnant women also need a uterine cleaning after medical abortion, which is a bit troublesome. Let me explain to you the issues related to pregnancy abortion.

1. Can I have a medical abortion at 8 weeks of pregnancy?

Generally speaking, when you are just pregnant, around eight weeks, it is possible to have a medical abortion, but if it has been more than seven weeks, it may not be possible. In fact, the best time for medical abortion is within 49 days of pregnancy, or go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound to check the development of the gestational sac. If it has exceeded this time period, it is best to choose surgical abortion. If it has been a long time, induced labor may be required.

2. Precautions for medical abortion

1. After the tissue is discharged, you need to stay in the hospital for observation for 1 hour. If the vaginal bleeding is not too much, you can go home and rest.

2. Get adequate rest within 2 weeks after miscarriage, eat nutritious food, and avoid heavy physical labor.

3. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum. Do not take a bath or have sexual intercourse, do not do vaginal douching, and do not swim when vaginal bleeding has not stopped. Do not take a bath or do vaginal douching, and do not swim within one month after medical abortion. Regardless of the amount of bleeding after surgery, sexual intercourse is prohibited before menstruation. Because the cervix is ​​in a relaxed state during medical abortion, the effect of tissue bacteria entering the uterine cavity is weakened. At the same time, after the embryonic tissue is peeled off, the blood sinuses are open and easily infected by bacteria.

4. In the first 2 to 3 days after abortion, the amount of vaginal bleeding is generally equivalent to or slightly more than the menstrual amount. If the amount of vaginal bleeding is heavy or persistent, seek medical attention promptly.

5. Patients with no tissue discharge should be observed for 2 weeks after taking the medicine, and attention should be paid to whether there is any tissue discharge during defecation and urination. Weekly urine pregnancy tests.

The above is the health knowledge about medical abortion. First go to the hospital to check the specific situation. The doctor will give advice on whether to have medical abortion or surgical abortion. Generally, medical abortion after 7 weeks is not a good idea. There are still many painless surgical abortions with a relatively high success rate. You don't need to have sex within one month after the medical abortion to prevent infection.
