On August 6, information from Can Tho City Obstetrics Hospital said that the hospital had just coordinated with Can Tho City General Hospital to successfully treat a case of critical complications after arbitrarily using abortion pills at home.
According to the family, the patient bought abortion pills on the market and used them at home. After taking the pills, the fetus, which was believed to be about 5 months old, aborted but the placenta did not detach.
Instead of going to a medical facility for treatment, the patient cut the umbilical cord himself and stayed home to take care of himself. As a result, the patient fell into a state of severe bleeding, cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest and had to be hospitalized at Can Tho General Hospital.
Using abortion pills at home is potentially dangerous.

Recognizing this as a critical emergency, as soon as the inter-hospital red alert was received from Can Tho General Hospital, Can Tho Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital sent a team led by Dr. Huynh Thanh Liem, Deputy Director of the hospital, to assist. Here, the medical team of Can Tho Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital performed the procedure of removing the remaining placenta and placing a balloon in the uterus to save the patient's life in time.
Sharing more about the above emergency case, Dr. Huynh Thanh Liem, Deputy Director of Can Tho City Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, warned that on the market today there are many types of abortion drugs of unknown origin, even fake and poor quality products being sold at high prices. If patients arbitrarily use drugs without a prescription or guidance from a doctor, it can lead to dangerous situations such as massive bleeding, infection... seriously affecting health, future reproductive function, even endangering life.
In fact, Can Tho City Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital has received many cases of serious complications due to unsafe abortions without a doctor's prescription, including many cases where patients bought drugs on their own or performed the procedure at unlicensed private clinics. To ensure the safety of their health and lives, Dr. Liem recommends that women with unwanted pregnancies should seek advice from specialized obstetrics and gynecology hospitals and perform safe abortion procedures in accordance with the law. This action not only helps to minimize the risk of complications but also protects future fertility.
