Some women may have unintended pregnancies, and when the fetus is relatively small, medical abortion can be considered because it is relatively more appropriate to choose medical abortion at this time. However, is it better to use medical abortion for first-time pregnancies?
Medical abortion can be chosen within 49 days of pregnancy, but the side effects of medication are relatively significant and may lead to incomplete abortion. At this point, it is time to undergo uterine cleansing treatment, which can cause significant damage to the uterus. The best time for medical abortion is usually 35-49 days, starting from the last day of the last menstrual period. The later the surgery, the greater the damage to the body.
If you are 49 days pregnant and need a medical abortion, you can choose appropriate medication to minimize the damage to the endometrium. When taking medication, new wounds will form in the uterus, accompanied by vaginal bleeding, which may lead to retrograde infection. Therefore, local hygiene should be maintained after medical abortion. If taking a shower, it is advisable to choose a shower instead of a tub bath, as it can easily lead to sewage flowing into the vagina and causing infection.
It should be noted that regardless of the method of abortion, it can cause harm to the body and may lead to habitual abortion or even infertility. The danger of medical abortion is that it is prone to incomplete abortion, as incomplete abortion requires curettage, which is equivalent to women undergoing two abortions in a short period of time, causing significant harm to the body.
