Medical abortion involves the use of special drugs, but differs in some specific features. Unlike other procedures, it is less traumatic for the uterus, but there may be restrictions on the use of drugs. Unlike other methods, medical abortion is performed only for up to 7 weeks.
If you perform the procedure later, then a partial abortion may develop with the need for subsequent curettage. The procedure is very simple - a woman takes the drug in the form of a tablet, or she is given an injection. For some time she remains under the supervision of doctors. A slight bleeding will be evidence of the abortion.
Medical termination of pregnancy has many advantages:
• a well-chosen preparation and compliance with the terms give an efficiency of up to 98%;
• there are no severe side effects associated with anesthesia and intervention;
• the infection is excluded;
• psychologically, the medical procedure is much easier to tolerate;
• safety for reproductive function.
However, it is impossible to abuse such a technique, since it has its drawbacks. The procedure has a lot of contraindications, including problems with the kidneys and liver, anemia, treatment with glucocorticosteroids. Uterine fibromyoma is also considered a contraindication to the procedure, as are blood diseases. Diabetes is another limitation to medical abortion.
