Is it advisable to do medical abortion at home?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 25 years old. The date of the first day of my last period was two months back. Am I pregnant? I want to abort. Can I do medical abortion myself at home at this time? Is it safe? Please help me and consult me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You need to take a urine pregnancy test and confirm the pregnancy. Please visit a gynecologist for the further examination. You will also have to undergo an ultrasound done to rule out ectopic pregnancy which is dangerous. If your pregnancy is seven weeks or less, then you can be given medical management of abortion by pills by a registered gynecologist under supervision. If pregnancy is more than seven weeks which is more likely as your LMP (last menstrual period) was two months back, then you need to get a dilatation and curettage by a gynecologist which is the safest method. Any attempt of doing MTP by an unregistered person or unqualified person can be very dangerous and potentially life-threatening as bleeding or other complications can occur.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
