Few Medical Abortion Side Effects You Must Know




In case, if you are worried about your missed periods, and suddenly it strikes that you can be pregnant, you may quickly wonder about ending the pregnancy. As you may not be ready to experience motherhood or it may be too early for you to become a mother. So, if you plan for medical abortion, then you should be aware of everything starting from its intake to its side effects.  However, women acknowledge themselves about the intake and even doctors to guide them but, they are mostly unaware of the side effects of the medicine. So let’s understand the side effects with the help of this blog.

The abortion pill is a very effective and powerful drug and the side effects are common. Women who take the abortion pill usually observe some normal to severe side effects such as;
  • Back pain
  • Bleeding
  • Stomach and uterine cramps 
  • Low potassium
  • Severe allergic reactions
  • Dizziness
  • Weakness, chills, fever
  • Diarrhea, vomiting, nausea
  • Excessive bleeding for 2 days
  • Spotting or light vaginal bleeding up to 15 days after an abortion
Other less severe side effects comprise of;

  • Back pain
  • Pelvic pain
  • Stomach pain
  • Dizziness
  • Tired feeling
  • Severe body pain
  • Weakness
  • Vomiting
  • Allergic reactions such as throat pain, inflammation of the lips, face or tongue, etc. 
  • Rashes, red spots, itchiness, irritation, etc.
Seek emergency medical assistance, in case, if they become severe or do not go away within a few days.

Other less severe side effects of medical abortion include:
  • Nausea
  • High blood pressure
  • Joint and head pain
  • Fluid retention
  • Diarrhea
  • An overgrowth of the uterine lining

Medical abortions or chemicals can possibly be more dangerous than surgical abortion but can have identical side effects. 
    However, rare and serious reactions to medical abortion can be deadly. Other complications such as ectopic pregnancies or infections can be severe and sometimes even life-threatening. 
      Abortion with abortion pill is improbable to cause infertility and it’s not even clear that it is safe while breast-feeding. But doctors recommend avoiding the intake of abortion pills while breastfeeding.
        There are several risks linked to medical abortion. In rare cases, incomplete abortion can also take place and some pregnancy tissue can be left out behind. 
          This could lead to infection and cause permanent harm to the woman. And due to this surgical abortion is required to remove the leftover pregnancy.

          When to see a doctor:


          Call your doctor if you observe issues such as;
          • High fever (more than 100.4 degrees) which is for more than 5 hours.
          • Fast heartbeat of ill feeling
          • Tenderness or severe pelvic pain
          • No vaginal bleeding even after taking the Mifeprex pill
          • Severe or continuous vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, weakness, etc.
