Medical abortion

Medical abortion, also called drug abortion, refers to the use of mifepristone tablets and misoprostol to terminate early pregnancy orally. In recent years, it has been widely used in clinical practice. In the early stages of pregnancy, no abortion is required, and injections or medications are used to achieve abortion. The use of drugs to terminate pregnancy is a new development in the past 20 years. At present, the commonly used drugs are a combination of mifepristone tablets and misoprostol. The former causes uterine decidual degeneration and necrosis, and the cervical softens. The latter stimulates the uterus, contracts the uterus, and promotes the discharge of the embryo.
