Suggest Medication For Terminating A Pregnancy

I want to abort my unwanted pregnancy. I am suffering from slight jaundice. Its been 2 weeks since my husband raped me and had unprotected and forced sexual intercourse. This is my 4th day after missing my period. What are the risks if I go ahead with abortion. Can it be done medically? Or some sort of operation needed?

Hello,
Firstly, you should get the pregnancy confirmed through a home pregnancy test or a blood test. Later on, you should see a specialist for a proper clinical assessment and get a trans-vaginal sonogram to know the location of the gestation sac and the age of the pregnancy. Since you have jaundice, your liver function should be assessed since you may bleed more during an abortion. Coagulation profile should be done. Then, you can undergo an induce medical abortion if you are fit. This can be performed until 9 weeks of pregnancy. Later on, you will need surgical abortion. The whole process should be under medical surveillance. Hope this helps.
