Safe abortion pills
A new study on women has shown that using abortion pills to terminate pregnancies during the first trimester is no more hazardous to future pregnancies than surgical terminations.
Abortion pills, also called medical abortions, are being used more and more by women to terminate unwanted pregnancies during the first trimester but there is little evidence of how this affects the safety of future pregnancies.
In the medical or pill based method, the woman takes one tablet the first day and then four or so pills a day or two later.
The first pill is a synthetic steroid that destabilizes the tissue that joins the embryo to the uterus. The pills taken later, cause the uterus to contract and expel the fetus. The procedure is different in different countries.
We found no evidence that a previous medical abortion, as compared with a previous surgical abortion, increases the risk of spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy, preterm birth, or low birth weight.
