Medical abortion is a preferred method of abortion for women who have experienced unexpected pregnancies. However, the use of medical abortion requires various examinations, such as confirming the presence of gestational sac and yolk sac, and determining the indications before proceeding with the procedure. So, do pregnant women need to see the yolk sac before undergoing medical abortion?
Medical abortion is suitable for women within 49 days of pregnancy. By taking specialized drugs, the secretion activity of progesterone in women's bodies decreases, and the uterus also undergoes strong contractions, achieving the goal of forcing pregnant tissue to be expelled from the body and causing miscarriage.
The drugs used in medical abortion can cause degeneration, shedding, and necrosis of the uterine decidua, while softening the cervix and strengthening uterine contractions. This process can make women feel pain, bloating, and sagging in the lower abdomen after medical abortion, but the severity of the pain may vary depending on individual factors and tolerance.
Medical abortion requires a B-ultrasound examination to determine if it is an intrauterine pregnancy, and the yolk sac must be seen. Because only when the yolk sac is discovered can it be determined to belong to the gestational sac and diagnosed as intrauterine pregnancy, and then medical abortion can be used to terminate the pregnancy. Before medical abortion, it is necessary to rule out whether there is a history of chronic diseases, such as allergic asthma, or whether there has been recent glucocorticoid treatment. Medical abortion can only be used to terminate pregnancy after excluding such factors.
