Introducing the reasons for doing B-ultrasound before medical abortion

Many women have called to ask why they need to do a B-ultrasound before having a medical abortion. In response to this question, let's talk about the reasons for doing a B-ultrasound before medical abortion. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

What are the reasons for doing B-ultrasound before medical abortion? Experts say that after the pregnancy has been confirmed by urine pregnancy test and gynecological examination, it is necessary to do B-ultrasound to confirm it. B-ultrasound before medical abortion is an important factor in judging the size of the gestational sac. Usually, medical abortion cannot be performed if the gestational sac exceeds 2.3cm, otherwise it will cause harm to the woman's life.

B-ultrasound before medical abortion is an important means to exclude ectopic pregnancy. As we all know, medical abortion is suitable for pregnancies with small gestational age, small gestational sac and fetal bud, so there is less vaginal bleeding and low uterine curettage rate, which can reach more than 92% complete abortion rate, and is very popular. At present, "medical abortion" uses mifepristone plus prostaglandin drugs. If the gestational sac is compared to a plant seedling, the former drug can cause necrosis of the seedling root system and denaturation of the soil, which is not conducive to the survival of the seedling and death, while the latter promotes uterine contraction, squeezes the uterine cavity to expel the seedling, and ends the pregnancy. The seedling is completely expelled from the uterine cavity, thus ending the pregnancy.
