Medical abortion is a procedure that is most preferred by women around the world. However, it is a painful procedure wherein women encounter cramps in the abdominal area. The pain lasts for around a few days. Women who are sensitive to any change or body pain find it difficult to deal with cramps.
What causes pain?
Prostaglandin is a component that is found in abortion pills such as Misoprostol, Cytolog, etc. These prostaglandin components work on the lining of the uterus. As a result, the contractions are produced in the uterus. This is done to initiate vaginal bleeding for removing pregnancy tissues from the body. And hence, women encounter cramps in the abdominal area.
Most women consider it a side effect of medical abortion pills. However, it is actually a symptom that the pregnancy termination procedure is underway. If you do not experience bleeding and cramping after taking Misoprostol, it can indicate that the pills are not working.
