Does medical abortion hurt the stomach?

Many medicines can cause harm to the stomach when taken, so many doctors will remind patients to take the medicines after meals when prescribing them. Medical abortion is a method of terminating pregnancy by having women take medicine. However, some women find themselves feeling nauseous and want to vomit after taking the medicine. So, do the drugs for medical abortion cause great harm to the stomach?

1. The drugs currently used clinically are mifepristone and misoprostol. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occur during the medication process, but these are not the main ones. In other words, there is damage to the stomach, but the damage is not too great. Pay attention to the bleeding time and amount of bleeding when taking medical abortion pills. These are the main side effects. If heavy bleeding occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

2. The best time for women to have medical abortion is before 49 days of pregnancy. These drugs for abortion are still irritating to the stomach and intestines after taking them. If a woman has stomach problems, it is best not to choose medical abortion. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to see the location and size of the gestational sac and rule out ectopic pregnancy. Based on the examination results, you can decide whether to have a medical abortion or a painless abortion.

3. So far, there are four common methods of abortion: medical abortion, traditional abortion, painless abortion, and superconducting visual painless abortion. It is very important to choose the abortion method that suits you. 1. Medical abortion. Refers to taking medicine to induce abortion under the doctor's orders. The biggest advantage: no artificial instrument intervention, avoiding genital damage or infection; Disadvantage: low success rate, about 75%. If there is a problem, that is, the medical abortion is not clear, the residual fetal membrane tissue will cause hemorrhage, and you must be admitted to the hospital immediately for curettage and cleaning, otherwise there will be a risk of life. Therefore, some people who are not undergoing abortion in a legitimate way and are unable to enter the hospital at any time will not easily choose this method. In addition, the population that can be used for this drug is small. Generally, medical abortion is not recommended after 55 days, and it is not suitable for people with heart disease and anemia. 2. Traditional abortion. Nowadays, abortion usually starts with a curettage to separate the fetal tissue attached to the uterine wall, which is then sucked out with a negative pressure aspirator. The biggest advantages: the success rate can reach 99%, and incomplete abortions are rare; if something happens during the operation, the patient will respond immediately and can be rescued in time; after the operation, the patient can be discharged after one hour of observation in the hospital. The total time from admission to discharge is about one and a half hours. Disadvantages: Pain. Some weak people may suffer shock during the operation. If the instruments are not sterilized properly or some other circumstances occur during the abortion process, reproductive infection may occur easily. 3. Painless abortion. This is the abortion method chosen by the vast majority of women at present. The biggest advantage is that it is based on general anesthesia of the patient, so it not only has a high success rate, but is also painless and takes a short time. However, in addition to the possibility of early infection like ordinary abortion, it has a fatal weakness: if uterine perforation occurs during the operation, the patient will have no reaction due to anesthesia, and sometimes it may be too late by the time the doctor notices it, which can be life-threatening. 4. Superconducting visual painless abortion. Visual abortion technology refers to the use of endoscope guidance to locate the gestational sac under visual conditions to help doctors complete the abortion operation. It can accurately find the gestational sac and decidual tissue attached to the inner wall of the uterus. In addition, superconducting visual painless abortion technology can clearly locate and has a clear purpose, and does not require large-scale curettage. This avoids the blindness of the surgical operation, and the damage to the implantation of the gestational sac can only be considered minimally invasive. In addition, superconducting visual painless abortion technology causes less bleeding and the operation process is quick. Superconducting visual painless abortion technology can reduce the incidence of uterine perforation and uterine bleeding.
