medical abortion

Medical abortion is a process that terminates an early pregnancy using medications rather than surgery. Typically, it involves taking two types of pills: mifepristone, which blocks the hormone progesterone necessary for pregnancy continuation, followed by misoprostol, which causes the uterus to contract and expel pregnancy tissue. The procedure is usually effective within a few days and is performed under medical supervision. It is safe and commonly used during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, offering a non-invasive option for pregnancy termination with the support and guidance of healthcare providers.
