When is the best time to have medical abortion?

Many women choose to terminate their pregnancy through surgical or medical abortion after an unexpected pregnancy. Medical abortion is a method of abortion that mainly involves taking medication and then forcing the uterus to contract to expel the embryo from the body. But both medical abortion and surgical abortion should be done at the best time. It is not advisable to do it too early or too late. Now I will tell you the best time for medical abortion to avoid causing greater harm to your body.

Best time for medical abortion

There are strict time regulations for medical abortion, and it can only be performed if the pregnancy is within 49 days. That is to say, it should be done within one and a half months of amenorrhea, because at this time, the enlargement of the uterus is not very obvious, and there is not much pregnancy tissue fluid, and the fetus is relatively small. 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 safety, after the medical abortion, you need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time to see whether the pregnancy tissue is clean. If the medical abortion is incomplete and not handled in time, it may cause heavy bleeding.

Things to note after medical abortion:

You cannot leave the hospital immediately after a medical abortion. You need to stay in the hospital for observation for an hour. If there is not much vaginal bleeding, you can go home and rest. If there are any abnormal conditions, they must be dealt with in a timely manner.

Although medical abortion is not a surgery, you still need to pay attention to rest. Avoid heavy physical labor within 2 weeks after the abortion and supplement your nutrition.

Pay attention to hygiene after medical abortion, pay attention to the cleaning of the perineum, avoid sexual intercourse and tub bathing within one month after medical abortion, wash and change underwear frequently to avoid infection.

Vaginal bleeding symptoms will occur after medical abortion. The amount of bleeding is equivalent to the menstrual volume or slightly more. It usually occurs 2-3 days after the medical abortion. If vaginal bleeding persists, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time.

The above is an introduction to the time for medical abortion. Everyone knows that medical abortion is definitely harmful to the body, although it seems very convenient and can be solved without surgery. But it is also very harmful. Not only may it cause irregular menstruation, it may even affect women's future fertility and make them unable to get pregnant. For safety reasons, medical abortion must be performed in a regular hospital.
