Is it painful to have an unexpected pregnancy? What should I do?

Medical abortion, also known as drug abortion, refers to the use of Mifepristone tablets plus misoprostol to terminate early pregnancy. In recent years, it has been widely used in clinical practice and is a very popular drug for preventing early pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, abortion can be achieved without surgery by injection or medication. The use of drugs to terminate pregnancy and medical abortion is the latest development in the past 20 years. Currently, the commonly used drugs are mifepristone tablets (Ru 486) and prostaglandins. The former causes degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua and softening of the cervix, while the latter causes uterine contraction and promotes the expulsion of the embryo.

Traditionally, the seven days before menstruation and the eight days after menstruation are the safe period for adult women. However, the safe period is not absolutely safe. Sometimes women ovulate earlier or later, and the judgment of the safe period becomes invalid. Determining the safe period can only reduce the chance of pregnancy.

The abortion rate of medical abortion is low, but it is easy to have incomplete abortion and heavy bleeding after abortion. If the medical abortion is incomplete, a uterine curettage operation will be required, which is equivalent to secondary damage to the body.

Suggestions: We recommend that female friends be cautious about medical abortion. You can go to the hospital for a check-up first, and based on the duration of pregnancy, size and position of the gestational sac, etc., to help determine whether medical abortion is suitable. Finally, follow the doctor's advice to choose the appropriate abortion method.
