NON-SURGICAL ABORTION - (MEDICAL ABORTION)
WHAT IS ABORTION PILLS?
The abortion pill should not be confused with the morning after pill as
it is intended for use within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy whereas
the morning after pill should only be used within 3 to 5 days after
intercourse. The abortion pill, mifepristone and misoprostol, is an
approved pregnancy termination method in South Africa and can only be
prescribed by a medical doctor.
How DOES ABORTION PILLS WORK?
Both abortion pills, mifepristone and misoprostol, are usually used in
order to terminate a pregnancy. Mifepristone causes the embryo to detach
from the uterus thereby cutting off essential nutrients and oxygen
carried by the blood. Misoprostol is then taken two days later and
triggers the evacuation of the embryo remnants through the vagina. This
often appears as a heavy period.
It is advisable that you consult with your medical practitioner for a further understanding of how the abortion pill works.
IS ABORTION PILLS SAFE?
The abortion pill is usually safer than a medical abortion or surgical
abortion but should only be considered in the first 12 weeks of
pregnancy. Like any procedure, use of the abortion pill can result in
complications but if used under the supervision of a medical doctor, the
chances of complications are greatly reduced. Your doctor will be best
suited to handle any complications should they arise.
DANGERS AND SIDE EFFECTS OF ABORTION PILLS?
Common side effects include abdominal pain, cramping, bleeding and
spotting for up to 2 weeks after using the abortion pill. Other side
effects that may occur include drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
fatigue and fevers. Side effects may not occur in every case and if you
are experiencing any symptoms that are persisting, you should consult
with your medical doctor immediately
The abortion pill may cause a disturbance in your normal menstrual cycle
in some users but usually there are no significant dangers associated
with using the abortion pill. However using the abortion pill without
the supervision of a medical practitioner or after 8 weeks of pregnancy
can be dangerous. Uncontrollable bleeding, severe cramping and
infections can arise without correct supervision and for this reason,
you should never buy or use the abortion pill from illegal sources.
Always consult with your doctor or a qualified staff at a family planning clinic before you commence with any abortion method.
