The Department of Obstetrics - Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases (Hanoi) has just treated a 19-year-old female patient who was admitted due to hemorrhage.

The patient was 24 weeks pregnant for the first time. Although she had no indication for termination of pregnancy, for personal reasons, she bought abortion pills online to take. After taking the pills, the patient began to feel dizzy, had severe abdominal pain, and was bleeding continuously. Her family immediately took her to the National Hospital of Tropical Diseases for emergency care.

At this time, the patient showed signs of hemorrhage, low blood pressure and shock due to blood loss. After a thorough examination, the doctors discovered that the patient's gestational sac had not completely aborted. Fortunately, the doctors and nurses provided timely emergency care, and the patient was out of danger and her health was gradually stabilizing.

Obstetricians at the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases warn that when considering an abortion, instead of going to a hospital or specialized medical facility for examination and consultation on appropriate intervention measures, many women arbitrarily buy abortion pills to take at home or apply folk remedies with the hope of expelling the fetus. Doing things like this is very dangerous, with many potential life-threatening risks if complications occur.

Usually, medical abortion is indicated when the fetus is less than 7 weeks old, the ultrasound shows that the fetus must be implanted in the uterine cavity and the mother does not have any diseases such as cardiovascular disease or other blood diseases... Medical abortion (medical abortion) is considered safe and effective, but the prerequisite is that it must be performed under the direction and close monitoring of an obstetrician at a medical facility.

Pregnant women should not buy abortion pills at home because it can easily lead to complications such as bleeding and infection, which seriously threaten their health and life.

After an abortion, you need to have a reasonable rest regimen, supplement adequate nutrition for the body to recover quickly, and return for check-ups as directed by your doctor to avoid complications that affect your reproductive health later.
