Medical abortion : complete or unspecified, without complication - what does this mean
Medical abortion is the use of medications to terminate a pregnancy. it occurs when two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, are taken within a few days of each other. the first drug, mifepristone, blocks the hormone progesterone, which is necessary to maintain a pregnancy. the second drug, misoprostol, causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. when the medications are taken as directed, a medical abortion is usually complete and without complication.
What happens during the disease - medical abortion : complete or unspecified, without complication
Medical abortion is a procedure that uses medication to end a pregnancy. it is generally used up to 10 weeks gestation and is often referred to as a “non-surgical” abortion. the process works by blocking the hormones that maintain the pregnancy, causing the uterus to contract and expel the fetus. in some cases, the uterus may need to be emptied with a suction device. complications are rare, but can include heavy bleeding, infection, and incomplete abortion.
