Misoprostol here works as a medicated abortion. Most women, who have taken misoprostol do not experience severe pain, which usually lasts from 1 to 3 hours and up to 6 hours.
Misoprostol acts on the smooth muscle of the uterus, causing it to contract, which leads to the outflow of the embryo. Pregnant women who have a medical abortion often start to experience pain 1 to 2 hours after taking misoprostol.
The pain is usually not too severe, similar to ordinary menstrual cramps, and is generally tolerable. Individuals who are particularly sensitive to pain may feel severe pain. The pain usually lasts for about 1~3 hours. Some pregnant women have longer pain, but it usually does not last more than 6 hours.
After a successful abortion, you must pay attention to rest, do not eat cold, greasy and stimulating food, prohibit sexual intercourse for one month, and have regular checkups.
