Medical abortion – what you need to know, reviews after an abortion

Increasingly, we are faced with advertising for “velvet” abortion. This is a relatively safe method of terminating a pregnancy. Without surgical intervention, without the use of anesthesia, it only requires taking certain medications (hence – medication, or pills).

Drugs for tableted abortion

This method is used in the early stages of pregnancy, up to 49 days of delay from the first day of the last menstruation.

To date, the following drugs are used:

• Mifegin (made in France);
• Mifepristone (made in Russia);
• Pencrofton (made in Russia);
• Mifolian (made in China).

The mechanism of action of all drugs is the same. The receptors for the hormone progesterone are blocked, which is designed to support the pregnancy process in the body, and as a result, the embryonic membranes are detached from the uterine wall and the ovum is expelled.

All of these drugs cannot be bought in pharmacies without a prescription!

Stages of the

Before undergoing the procedure, make sure that the doctor has all the necessary documents and permits.

1. To begin with, the gynecologist will make sure that you really pregnant… To do this, you will undergo a standard pregnancy test followed by an ultrasound (intrauterine sensor). In addition, the doctor needs exclude ectopic pregnancy;
2. The patient gets acquainted with the information sheet and signs the corresponding documentation;
3. If no contraindications, under the supervision of a doctor, the patient is taking the drug. And he is lying on the couch for several hours under the supervision of a doctor;
4. In 2-3 hours she can leave the clinic. During this time, about 50% of women begin to have uterine contractions and bleeding;
5. In 3 days the patient comes to the doctor’s appointment for an ultrasound scan. It is necessary to make sure that there is no fertilized egg left in the uterus.

Many women wonder how painful the procedure is…

The pain is usually slightly worse than during a normal period. You will feel a cramping pulsation of the uterus. Pain medication can be taken in consultation with your doctor.

Recommendations after pharmacological abortion

• After a medical abortion, you must abstain from sex for 2-3 weeks: it may well cause bleeding and inflammation. In addition, one of the complications may be a change in ovulation, and a woman may well become pregnant 11-12 days after the procedure;

• Menstruation usually starts within 1-2 months, but menstrual irregularities are possible.

• Pregnancy can be planned in 3 monthsif everything went well. See your doctor before planning.

Contraindications and possible consequences

Tablets are potent drugs that have a number of contraindications:

• age over 35 and under 18;
• hormonal contraceptives (oral contraceptives) or an intrauterine device were used within three months before conception;
• suspicion of an ectopic pregnancy;
• pregnancy was preceded by an irregular menstrual cycle;
• diseases of the female genital area (fibroids, endometriosis);
• hemorrhagic pathologies (anemia, hemophilia);
• allergies, epilepsy, or adrenal insufficiency
• long-term use of cortisone or similar medications;
• recent use of steroids or anti-inflammatory drugs;
• renal or hepatic impairment;
• inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (colitis, gastritis);
• bronchial asthma and other pulmonary diseases;
• pathology of the heart and blood vessels, as well as the presence of cardiovascular risks (high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, diabetes);
• an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to mifepristone.

Quite often, after a medical abortion, hormonal disturbances begin, provoking various gynecological diseases (inflammation, endometriosis, cervical erosion, fibroids). All this can subsequently lead to infertility.

Is the safety of velvet abortion a myth or reality?

As we can see, at first glance, this is a fairly simple operation, and most importantly, as they say, it is largely safe in comparison with surgical intervention. However, in reality, not everything is as simple as it seems.

Is this “security” safe?

• If the velvet abortion did not occur to the end. A serious danger for a girl is an incomplete termination of pregnancy, which manifests itself in the form of acute pain in the abdomen, profuse bleeding. With such symptoms, immediate hospitalization and removal of the remnants of the germ elements are required. This is usually done surgically using a sharp curette knife. This operation threatens to damage the walls of the uterus, adjacent organs, hemorrhage, and other consequences of a surgical abortion.

• If the procedure is not carried out on time (after 7 weeks of pregnancy), then even a lethal outcome is quite possible. Although there are dozens of proven deaths from mifepristone in the European Union alone, in reality, experts agree, there are many more, and there are thousands of those who have received irreparable damage to their health. Dr. Randy O’Bannon, head of research at the US National Defense Committee, believes it is very difficult to obtain information about a patient’s death as a result of medication. This information flows to the manufacturer, and immediately becomes inaccessible to people.

We must remember that abortion, whether pharmacological or surgical, is the murder of the unborn child.

Svetlana:

I went to the antenatal clinic on a paid basis. First, she underwent an ultrasound scan, established the gestational age, then took a smear for infections, made sure that there were no infections, gave the go-ahead. My term was 3-4 weeks. I drank three pills of mefepristone. They can be chewed, not bitter. At first I felt a little nauseous, but the nausea went away after I drank kefir. Before they let me go home, they explained everything to me, and also gave me instructions and 4 Mirolyut tablets. They said to drink two in 48 hours, if it does not work two more in two hours. I drank two tablets on Wednesday at 12-00. nothing happened – drank another one. After that, blood began to flow, profusely with clots, the Abdomen ached, as with menstruation. For two days the blood flowed profusely, and then it just smeared. On the seventh day, the doctor said to start taking Regulon to restore the menstrual cycle. On the day of taking the first pill, the daub stopped. On the tenth day I did an ultrasound. Everything is okay.

I was forbidden to give birth for some reason, so I had a medical abortion. Everything went without complications for me, but with such pains that mom do not grieve !!! I drank 3 pills of no-shpa at a time, so that at least it was a little easier … psychologically it was very difficult. Now I calmed down, and the doctor said that everything went well.

The doctor advised me to undergo a medical termination of pregnancy, underwent an examination, drank mifepristone tablets, and then sat for 2 hours under the supervision of a doctor. I came in 2 days later, they gave me two more pills under the tongue. An hour later, blood began to flow, discharge, a terrible stomach ache, so that I climbed onto the wall. Clots came out. And so my period went 19 days. I went to the doctor, did an ultrasound scan, and found the remains of the ovum. In the end, they still made me a vacuum !!!
