Recently, medical abortion has become popular among women who have decided to terminate pregnancy. However, this can adversely affect your health. The abortion pill is actually two drugs that are used together to stop pregnancy: mifepristone and misoprostol, writes Womens' health.

Mifepristone blocks the body's ability to produce progesterone, which stops the development of pregnancy. Without this hormone, pregnancy can not continue, says obstetrician-gynecologist Elmari Basson.

Another tablet, misoprostol, is taken 48 hours after the first tablet. Misoprostol causes convulsions and bleeding to remove the embryo from the uterus. This process can take several hours.

This is basically an extremely difficult period.

What are the risks of taking abortion pills - Incomplete abortion, which leads to surgery.

- The tablet can also lead to endometritis, infection of the uterus.

- Persistent bleeding, which is possible due to atony of the uterus (loss of uterine muscles to contraction) or retention of conception.

- Teratogenic risk (abnormal growth) with constant pregnancy.
