Tablet abortion - the method of its implementation, contraindications and consequences

Often in the life of a woman it happens that from the pregnancy comes it is necessary to get rid of. The reason for this may be both her personal considerations or opportunities, and medical evidence. Until quite recently, abortion was performed only surgically, which resulted in a number of complications and consequences. Now the most safe and popular type of abortion is a tabulated abortion.

Tableted abortion (its second name is medicamentous) occurs by taking medications, based on the medication "Mifepristone". It is a steroid blocking progesterone receptors, as a result of which the fetal egg is rejected. The maximum period at which it is recommended to perform a tablet abortion is 6-8 weeks or 42 days from the last day of menstruation. And the less the period of pregnancy, the higher the chance that its interruption will pass without complications.

How to make an abortion with the help of medicines ?

If a woman decides to interrupt pregnancy with a medicamentous method, then first of all she must:

• Hand over all necessary tests (blood for HIV, hepatitis, etc.);
• With the purpose of revealing exact term of pregnancy and exclusion of ectopic pregnancy - to make ultrasound;
• Take a swab from the vagina, rectum and urethra for examination for the presence of STIs.

In the case where there are no contraindications and allow the timing of pregnancy, perform a tabulated abortion. In the presence of a doctor, a woman takes 3 tablets of Mifepristone and remains under his supervision for about 2-3 hours, in case the components of the medicine cause a negative reaction (allergy). Then approximately in 36-48 hours the patient needs to come to the hospital, where to improve the effect, she needs to take 2 more tablets of "Misoprostol". After this, bleeding begins, which will speak about the beginning of abortion. Under the supervision of a doctor, she must stay at least 2-3 hours.

An obligatory condition after medical abortion is a visit to your attending physician 2 weeks after taking medication. It is also necessary to undergo a repeated ultrasound, which will confirm or refute the fact that the tablet abortion was carried out successfully. Otherwise (with incomplete exit of the fetal egg or continued development of pregnancy), additional medical intervention will be necessary. After performing unsuccessful abortion with drugs, pregnancy can not be saved.

To make medical abortion can not every woman, because he has a number of contraindications:

• Age younger than 18 and over 35;
• Taking hormonal contraceptives or using an intrauterine device before pregnancy;
• The presence of endometriosis or other diseases of the reproductive system;
• ectopic pregnancy;
• anemia;
• Taking anti-inflammatory drugs;
• Hepatic or renal insufficiency;
• Presence of inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract;
• bronchial asthma;
• Irregular menstrual cycle before pregnancy;
• heart diseases;
• high blood pressure;
• Allergy to drugs.

Although tableted abortion is the safest among the other types of abortion, but after it there may also be some complications. For example, very often there is incomplete rejection of the fetal egg, which will require surgical intervention. Strong uterine bleeding can also occur, which also has to be stopped by intra-uterine intervention.
