Pregnancy abortion is the medical process of ending a pregnancy before the fetus can survive outside the womb.

⚕️ What Pregnancy Abortion Means

It involves stopping the growth of the pregnancy usually by medication or surgical methods. One common medical abortion method uses a drug called Mifepristone, which blocks the hormone progesterone needed to maintain pregnancy, causing the uterine lining to break down.

🩺 Important Considerations

  • Medical abortion is typically used up to about 70 days of pregnancy.
  • It may cause uterine bleeding, cramps, nausea, and other side effects.
  • Sometimes, bleeding may last several weeks; ongoing symptoms or absence of bleeding does not always mean completion of abortion.
  • Follow-up with a doctor is essential to confirm completion and manage any complications.

Always consult a gynecologist to get personalized advice and safe management tailored to your situation. If facing urgent or severe symptoms, seek immediate medical help.
