What causes nausea after medical abortion

For women who accidentally become pregnant, there are more and more abortion options on the market. However, medical abortion is still a very traditional method of abortion that is more accepted by women. The gestational sac after medical abortion often does not flow out of the body immediately, but flows out along with the body's excrement. Many women who have undergone medical abortions experience nausea and vomiting afterwards. What is going on?

What to do if you vomit after a medical abortion

Taking prostaglandins for medical abortion may cause side effects, mainly gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Lower abdominal pain may occur due to uterine contractions. Some people may have fever, dizziness, skin flushing, and numbness.

What to do if you feel nausea after abortion?

To prevent or treat gastrointestinal side effects, metoclopramide can be taken before or after taking medical abortion drugs. The incidence of vomiting and diarrhea varies greatly depending on the type of prostaglandins combined with mifepristone. If individual patients have severe reactions, vitamin B1 and B6 can be added. If necessary, one vial of Metoclopramide can be injected intramuscularly.

The patient's abdominal pain is usually mild, and very few patients have severe abdominal pain, accompanied by a series of clinical symptoms such as vagal excitation syndrome or spasm and convulsions. If it is not serious, no treatment is required. For patients with severe abdominal pain, sedatives and antispasmodics such as pethidine or atropine can be used. However, avoid the use of indomethacin, flufenamic acid, or salicylic acid preparations that counteract prostaglandins.

In addition, we need to know that medical abortion is not something that everyone can do. Medical abortion is only suitable for pregnant women within 49 days of amenorrhea. Before taking the medicine, you should have an ultrasound examination to understand the size and position of the embryo to help determine whether medical abortion is suitable.

What are the harms of medical abortion to the human body

1. Failed abortion

After 8 days of medication, the fetal sac was not expelled, and B-ultrasound examination confirmed that there was still pregnancy in the uterus. In this case, you must go to the hospital for a uterine curettage.

2. Excessive blood loss, life-threatening

Especially when the bleeding is severe and does not stop, if the uterus is not cleaned and blood transfusion is not performed in time, the chance of rescue will be lost and the life may be in danger.

3. Side effects of medical abortion

In addition to gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, prolonged bleeding and heavy bleeding are the main side effects of medical abortion. Drug treatment is ineffective, and uterine curettage is required when necessary. Medical abortion must be performed in a medical institution with regular rescue conditions. Medical abortion has strong indications. If people who buy the medicine privately do not understand these indications, or if people who are not suitable for medical abortion buy the medicine to have an abortion on their own, it is very dangerous.
