The drug "Pencrofton": reviews of women

The most reliable contraceptives are still condoms. However, they do not always insure against unwanted pregnancy. If your plans do not include becoming a mother in the near future, but the pregnancy test turned out to be positive, there are medicines that interrupt pregnancy. Their main advantage is that they act more gently than surgical abortion, which is not easy to decide on. One such means is "Pencrofton", which we will discuss today. It is often used in medical practice. So, what is "Pencrofton" - instructions and reviews about it will be presented in this article.

How does Pencrofton work?

Progesterone is a female hormone that ensures the preservation of pregnancy by relaxing the uterine musculature. "Mifepristone", the main active substance of the drug, binds to receptors and interferes with the production of progesterone, which leads to a violation of the hormonal background and disruption of pregnancy.

Due to the contraction of the myometrium, a fetal egg leaves the uterus.

The drug does not possess gestagenic activity (gestagens are steroid female hormones).

At the same time the preparation has a number of contraindications and application features that must be taken into account.

Indications for use

The drug is prescribed in the early stages of pregnancy, if the menstruation is absent for several cycles (up to 42 days). In this case, the drug is only shown in uterine pregnancy. Therefore, to visit a gynecologist and undergo an examination before taking "Pencrofton" is necessary.

Some instructions also indicate that they use "Pencrofton" and for the stimulation of labor. Feedback on stimulation will also be given below.

What are the advantages of taking Pencroftone?

"Pencrofton", like other medicines for abortion, has the following advantages in comparison with surgical abortion.

1. Abortion is more traumatic. There is no risk of damage to the endometrium and uterine myometrium with surgical instruments, as well as complications after anesthesia.
2. There is no stress that a girl invariably experiences during a surgical abortion.
3. Side effects after the reception are extremely rare.

Application Features

As a rule, "Pencrofton" can not be purchased at the pharmacy - it is issued by doctors who have a license for its use. Usually, 3 tablets drunk simultaneously are enough to stimulate miscarriage. Drink the drug after 1-1,5 after a meal, washing down half a glass of boiled water.

The drug is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and after 1.5 hours its concentration reaches a maximum. Begins contraction of the uterus and rejection of the fetal egg.

Usually girls are warned that in case of ineffectiveness of "Pencrofton" pregnancy should still be interrupted, as it causes severe pathology in the fetus.

After 36-48 hours after taking an ultrasound. After a week, the patient again passes the tests and does ultrasound. This is done to determine whether the "Pencrofton" has acted and whether the remains of the fetal egg or even the embryo have remained in the uterus. In this case, a vacuum abortion is performed.

"Pencrofton" and the opinion of specialists

Doctors often appoint "Pencrofton" for the purpose of early abortion, however, many of them are sure that it should be used only in those cases when the patient is under the supervision of a doctor. This will significantly reduce the risk of side effects. Alas, many representatives of our medicine are not very scrupulous, so they just prescribe the drug to the girls and send them home.

Despite the fact that in modern medicine, the "Pencrofton" is actively used, doctors' opinions about him are ambiguous - some actively prescribe it, others prefer to send patients to an abortion with scraping to completely clean the upper lining of the uterus. Residual parts of the fetal egg can really go out not completely after the onset of bleeding and fester in the uterus, causing serious complications. Unfortunately, this can happen when using any pills for abortion, not just "Pencrofton." Comments on the birth of this drug will be discussed below.

"Pencrofton" and the stimulation of childbirth: yes or no?

The appointment of doctors "Pencrofton" (reviews of women on this subject are numerous) is practiced in late pregnancy for the stimulation of childbirth. As evidenced by the reviews of many girls, the use of "Pencrofton" did not always have the desired effect. Despite the practice of artificial stimulation of labor in many maternity homes, drugs that have a similar effect do not give the desired effect, and it is necessary to stimulate birth more aggressively - puncture of the bladder, etc.

Girls who took "Pencrofton" to stimulate childbirth, in their reviews were alarmed by its possible negative effects on the baby's body. Since the drug, in case of its inefficiency, is able to cause fetal pathologies, their anxiety is quite understandable. But in the late term of pregnancy the fetus is already fully formed, therefore, severe consequences in the form of pathologies of internal organs and systems from "dating" with the drug in children should not be. But the central nervous system can suffer.

Indeed, the mummies who took "Pencrofton" in the reviews write that in time they notice: the child is easily excited, he has nervousness, bad sleep. The consequences of taking the drug or a psychological feature, acquired for other reasons - for parents this point remains unknown. And we turn to the opinion of doctors.

Stimulation of pregnancy and doctor's opinions

So, "Pencrofton" and feedback on the stimulation of labor by doctors - what do experts say?

Artificial stimulation of labor in our time is practiced in almost every hospital. But doctors have not yet come to a consensus on the expediency of stimulation of childbirth. When the cervix is not opened enough, in fact, in many cases it is necessary to give births to the drugs that speed birth. But how justified is this risk? Most doctors believe that it is absolutely justified, and some even assure patients that the drugs are absolutely safe for both the mother and the fetus.

According to the opinion of many neurological doctors, the stimulation of childbirth is fraught with complications for the baby. In the work of the staff of the Rodzinsky Department of 2006 it was established that the severe condition of full-term newborns is more often caused by obstetric aggression and incompetence than by violations of the fetoplacental system.

Severe consequences

In cases where labor is artificially stimulated, there is always a rather high risk of hypoxia of the child (hypoxia - oxygen starvation). After all, the cervix and the uterus itself are not yet ready for intense fighting. As a result, the obstetrician diagnoses hypertensive dysfunction of the cervix, which can cause hypoxia with the development of disorders of the central nervous system.

In women, the procreation process is much more painful than with the natural opening of the cervix. And the main reason for this in most cases, according to statistics, is the iatrogenic (obstetric) factor.

As a result, a few months after the birth of the baby at a reception with a neurologist revealed increased excitability, sleep disturbances, hyperactivity, disabilities of the musculoskeletal system. In severe cases, it is possible to diagnose epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism, etc.

"Pencrofton" in the early term: feedback

What do girls say about abortion "Pencroftone"? Reviews of girls who used it for their intended purpose, indicate that the pills are effective. After taking the drug, there was a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, pain, and in general the process of pregnancy failure was accompanied by a poor state of health. Later, abundant bleeding started and the well-being recovered. That is, the disruption of pregnancy was not much different from the onset of menstruation, which in many women is very painful.

Among the reviews about "Pencroftone" there were no mention of the complications described in the instruction. Although still advised to use it under the supervision of a doctor, and not at home for their own purposes, because he has contraindications that need to be considered. Contraindications are described in detail in the instructions.

Conclusion

In general, for girls who interrupted pregnancy with pills "Pencrofton", the process of failure passed without stress for the body and psyche, which certainly accompanies the vacuum and other types of surgical abortion, so the reviews are mostly positive.
