Do I need to take mifepristone tablets for painless abortion?

Abortion generally refers to artificial abortion. Painless artificial abortion generally does not require taking mifepristone tablets, but for people with cervical scars or hard cervical texture, mifepristone tablets can be taken orally before the painless artificial abortion operation.

Mifepristone is a receptor-level antiprogestin drug that has the effects of terminating early pregnancy, resisting implantation, and promoting cervical ripening.

Painless artificial abortion is to remove the embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity by negative pressure suction under the condition of injecting anesthetics. Usually, mifepristone tablets are not needed. If you have cervical scars or a hard cervix, you can take mifepristone tablets before doing painless artificial abortion. Its main function is to promote cervical softening, minimize the time of painless abortion, and reduce damage to the cervix.

If a woman's gestational age is relatively advanced and there are high-risk factors, such as uterine fibroids, she can also take mifepristone tablets before undergoing painless abortion surgery to promote the softening and dilation of the cervix and reduce uterine bleeding during surgery.

After the painless abortion, you should rest more, refrain from sexual intercourse and bathing, pay attention to keeping the vulva clean, and avoid eating spicy, cold, or greasy food.
