Medical abortion is the safest way to terminate an early pregnancy using pills.
This method allows you to remove the fertilized egg from the uterine cavity without using surgical instruments or cervical dilators. This eliminates the risk of damage to the internal genital organs. However, if a medical abortion is performed without the supervision of qualified doctors, the risk of developing dangerous complications is very high.
Medical doctors in St. Petersburg will help you understand how the procedure goes and what pills are used to terminate a pregnancy.
Causes of the disease
Gastritis is an inflammatory disease of the gastric mucosa.
Gastritis manifests itself in inflammatory processes that affect the gastric mucosa. This lesion leads to disruptions in the functioning of the organ.
It is believed that most pregnant women experience gastritis if this disease has already visited them before. This rule applies to 75% of girls.
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori that enters the digestive tract is another factor that provokes gastritis.
Usually it ends up in the stomach long before the first signs of the disease appear. Having become infected even before pregnancy, women do not even suspect it, because the symptoms may not be felt for a long time.
An exacerbation begins at the moment when it is provoked by other factors. These include changes in hormonal levels, under the influence of which signs of the disease appear.
Since significant changes occur in the human body during pregnancy, all of them can also become stimulants of gastritis. This includes iron deficiency anemia, disruption of the endocrine system, and infection. There are other reasons for the development of this disease:
- non-compliance with the rules of a balanced diet;
- frequent inclusion in the diet of foods containing refined carbohydrates;
- eating foods containing preservatives, dyes, and harmful flavors;
- eating large amounts of food;
- bad habits;
- experiences, being in a stressful state.

Woman drinking pills
Some women are convinced that if an abortion is performed using pills, they can perform it on their own, without contacting a gynecologist. This is a mistake that can cost the patient her health.
The only thing a woman can do on her own is to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. In addition to standard methods of contraception, emergency contraception, which is sold in pharmacies, can be used for this purpose. These drugs should not be confused with medication abortion pills. Emergency contraception does not cause abortion, but only prevents possible fertilization.
No abortion pills should be used without consulting a gynecologist. This can lead to the following consequences:
- incomplete removal of the fertilized egg from the uterus, requiring surgical intervention;
- the opening of severe uterine bleeding, with the risk of large blood loss;
- development of an infectious-inflammatory process against the background of suppression of the normal microflora of the genital tract;
- ineffective abortion due to the attachment of the fertilized egg outside the uterus;
- development of life-threatening toxic shock syndrome;
- menstrual irregularities due to hormonal imbalance;
- disorders of the thyroid gland;
- serious disorders of the digestive system - nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain.
A comprehensive diagnosis of the body before an abortion can reduce the risk of developing negative consequences. You can take any medications only after eliminating contraindications.
Acute gastritis
In case of acute gastritis, you should consult a doctor.
This form consists of inflammatory processes that involve the upper parts of the mucosa or penetrate into its deeper layers.
The main difference between the acute form is the high rate of development of pathology. Maximum – several days, more often – several hours.
In this case, unpleasant signs suddenly appear, the provocateur is alcohol intake, consumption of foods, medications that irritate the mucous membrane, and being in a nervous environment.
With acute gastritis, all the usual signs of this disease are observed, to which flatulence may be added. Appetite may disappear completely. If there is pain or other unpleasant sensations in the upper abdomen, you cannot ignore them.
An examination is required that will help to identify the pathology in time and correct the condition. Most often, discomfort in this area is caused by gastritis. The depth of damage in acute gastritis and the intensity of inflammation are the main indicators on which the classification of acute gastritis is based.
- Catarrhal. In this form, the inflammation is superficial and is therefore considered mild. To normalize the condition in this form, special medications cannot be taken. The pathology develops quickly, but also quickly passes without much intervention. It is difficult to confuse this form with other diseases, because the symptoms are clearly expressed. All dyspeptic symptoms are present, including diarrhea. The condition is aggravated by general malaise, lethargy, fever, and heart rhythm disturbances.
- Erosive. This form is distinguished by the characteristics of mucosal damage. Small ulcers appear on it - erosion. Such ulcers cause serious consequences. In addition to discomfort in the abdominal area, severe pain occurs, and bleeding inside the stomach may develop.
- Hemorrhagic. This form is accompanied by inflammatory processes and deep erosive lesions of the mucous membrane, which lead to bleeding. Since quite a lot of blood is released, the stool becomes black. This is what is considered the defining feature in diagnosing this form.
- Phlegmonous. With this type of gastritis, the inflammation is purulent in nature, resulting in destruction of the gastric wall. Fortunately, this form is rare. But this does not mean that you do not need to be vigilant. Indeed, with the phlegmonous form, death is common. This form can be recognized at an early stage by the usual signs of gastritis, accompanied by an increase in temperature.

Contraindications to taking abortion pills
There is a general list of contraindications for taking any abortifacient drugs:
- ectopic pregnancy;
- pregnancy period is more than 7 weeks;
- pregnancy while taking hormonal contraceptives;
- renal and liver failure;
- the patient's age is less than 18 years;
- disorders of the blood coagulation system, vascular pathologies;
- diseases of the female reproductive system - tumors of any nature, endometriosis, tissue inflammation;
- allergies, intolerance to individual components of the drug;
- epilepsy;
- pulmonary pathologies – bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system - arterial hypertension, heart rhythm disturbances, chronic heart failure;
- inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract - ulcers, colitis, gastritis.
Medication abortion drugs should be used with caution in women over 35 years of age, as well as in smoking patients. A comprehensive examination before the procedure allows you to accurately determine the gestational age and the place of attachment of the fertilized egg. Also, during a medical consultation, diseases of the genital tract and chronic diseases are excluded.
The risk of complications increases many times over, and the effectiveness of abortifacient drugs decreases if improper drug interactions are allowed. For example, it is unacceptable to use abortion pills and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at the same time. Even seemingly harmless acetylsalicylic acid can change the effect of drugs.
The gynecologist will tell the patient about all the risks and features of using drugs for medical removal of the fertilized egg. If an unwanted pregnancy occurs during breastfeeding, the young mother should interrupt breastfeeding for 7-14 days. This is due to the penetration of abortifacient drugs into breast milk. To preserve milk during this period, it should be expressed regularly. You can feed the baby with a special formula at this time.
In addition, when the procedure is performed in a clinic, the woman receives a guarantee that the abortion will be completed. If for any reason it is not possible to achieve complete removal of the fetus from the uterine cavity, additional surgical curettage is necessary. In the case of home use of abortifacient drugs, the patient must pay for this procedure independently.
If the problem arose after a medical abortion, the completion of the procedure is carried out free of charge with maximum care for the patient.
Treatment with medications
Cerucal is a remedy for nausea.
Gastritis during pregnancy can be treated with medications prescribed by a doctor or using folk remedies.
But medicinal herbs can be used only after the approval of a doctor.
A prerequisite for successful treatment is strict adherence to the diet. Specific treatments depend on the level of acidity.
For high acidity, antispasmodics, antacids, and prokinetics are prescribed. With low acidity, enzymes (stomach, pancreas) and combined agents that stimulate digestion are needed.
To normalize the state of the digestive organs, probiotics are used. Medicines that eliminate unwanted symptoms are also prescribed, for example, cerucal is used against nausea.
During complex therapy, it is advisable to drink mineral water. With increased secretion of gastric secretions, drink Slavyanovskaya, Jermuk, Borjomi. For low acidity, Essentuki, Mirgorodskaya and Arzni are needed. But the latter method of therapy is used only in the absence of edema.
