Although many people may choose to undergo surgery for abortion nowadays, there are actually other methods available, such as taking medication to help with the abortion. However, this is a rare choice nowadays mainly because there is a high probability of incomplete abortion. But if the gestational age is relatively small, choosing medication abortion would be better, with less harm to the body than surgery, and faster recovery. So, how many weeks of pregnancy can medication abortion be used?
If choosing medical abortion, it is also necessary to arrange a good time, and it must be confirmed that intrauterine pregnancy can be used for this method. Because of ectopic pregnancy, taking medication may cause heavy bleeding. When is the best time for medical abortion? Actually, within 7 weeks of pregnancy is quite suitable, and the best time is around 5-7 weeks. Because it is less than 5 weeks, the gestational sac is actually relatively small at this time. If medication is taken for abortion, it may not be possible to completely eliminate it, so it is not safe.
Medicated abortion generally requires taking two types of medication. Firstly, one should take some drugs that inhibit embryo development, and then wait for two to three days before taking them again. These drugs can help contract the uterus and expel the embryo. Within two hours after taking the second medication, there may be abdominal pain, which is actually due to uterine contractions.
