On which day of medical abortion is the most uncomfortable

Medical abortion usually shows the most obvious reaction 2-3 days after taking medication, and the specific degree of discomfort varies from person to person. The discomfort of medical abortion is mainly related to uterine contractions and changes in hormone levels, mostly concentrated before and after the expulsion of the gestational sac. During the process of medical abortion, the combination of mifepristone and misoprostol can cause strong uterine contractions to promote the expulsion of pregnancy tissue. Severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, and nausea and vomiting may occur 4-6 hours after taking misoprostol, which is a normal response to the drug's effectiveness. Some people may experience prostaglandin side effects such as chills, fever, or diarrhea, which usually last for several hours and gradually subside. When the gestational sac is discharged, there may be a significant sense of descent and blood clot discharge, and the amount of bleeding should be closely monitored.

A small number of people are highly sensitive to drugs and may experience persistent abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding during the use of mifepristone. In rare cases, incomplete abortion may occur, leading to prolonged bleeding or secondary infection, manifested as fever, abnormal discharge odor, or severe pain. Drug allergy sufferers may also experience abnormal reactions such as rash and difficulty breathing, which require immediate medical treatment. After medical abortion, patients should rest in bed for 1-2 days, avoid physical labor and baths, and use sanitary pads instead of cotton strips to observe bleeding. Prohibit sexual intercourse within two weeks, and supplement your diet with iron rich foods such as animal liver and spinach to help your body recover. If bleeding exceeds menstrual flow, fever persists, or abdominal pain worsens, it is necessary to promptly return to the hospital for ultrasound examination and perform curettage surgery if necessary. Keep the external genitalia clean and dry, apply appropriate hot compress to the abdomen to relieve pain, but do not self medicate painkillers to mask symptoms.
