Dr. Perambalur Ayyadurai Rohith
I am a general physician with more than 10 yr of clinical experiance, and in this time I worked with patients from all age groups, from young kids to elderly with multiple chronic issues. My practice has been wide, but I gradually developed deeper intrest in diabetology. I spend much of my day focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and management of diabetes, using lifestyle modification, medical therapy and regular monitoring. Many patients come worried about complications, and I try to explain things in simple language, whether it is diet, excercise, or understanding lab reports, so they dont feel lost. I also conduct detailed diagnostic evaluation and use evidence based protocols to make sure treatment is reliable and updated, even if sometimes I double check myself when results dont match the clinical picture. Apart from regular OPD practice, I gained strong experiance in occupational health. Over years I worked with multiple companies handling pre employment checks, annual medical exams, workplace wellness programs, and ensuring compliance with industrial health and safety standards. It is diffrent from hospital practice, but equally important, because healthy workers mean safe and productive workplace. I run medical surveillance programs and health awareness sessions in collaboration with corporates, and this also gave me exposure to preventive strategies on a large scale. For me, patient care is not just treatment but building trust. My career revolve around preventive medicine, ethical clinical practice, and continuous learning. I keep myself updated with modern medical protocols, but I also value listening to patient worries, since medicine is not only about lab values but also about how a person feels in daily life. I make mistakes in words sometimes, but in my work I try to be very precise. At end of day, my aim is to provide care that is accessible, evidence based and truly centered on patient well being.

At 7 weeks pregnancy, medical abortion is possible but must always be done under gynecologist supervision.

Pills like Mifepristone and Misoprostol are commonly used, but they should never be taken without prescription due to risks of heavy bleeding, incomplete abortion, or infection.

Even if ultrasound is done, a doctor must confirm that the pregnancy is inside the uterus and not ectopic.

Please do not self-medicate unsupervised use can be life-threatening and may affect future fertility.

The safest option is to consult a gynecologist immediately; they will prescribe the right medicines, dose, and follow-up scan to ensure complete abortion.

A medical abortion using medication is a viable option up to 10 weeks of pregnancy under medical supervision. The typical regimen consists of two medications: mifepristone followed by misoprostol. Mifepristone is taken first, it works by blocking the hormone progesterone, needed to maintain pregnancy. This causes the lining of the uterus to thin, preventing further embryo growth. After 24 to 48 hours, misoprostol is used, typically by placing the tablets between the gums and cheek (buccally) or under the tongue (sublingually), which stimulates uterine contractions and assists in expelling the pregnancy. It’s important to understand that these medications should only be taken under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional to ensure safety and efficacy. Potential side effects can include bleeding, cramping, nausea, diarrhea, and fever. Excessive bleeding, severe pain, or fever could indicate complications, and immediate medical attention would be necessary. Before proceeding, you’ll need to confirm pregnancy duration, ensure it’s a low-risk scenario, and discuss your medical history with a physician, including any medications you’re taking or conditions you’ve had. Follow-up care is crucial to confirm that the abortion is complete and to monitor for any complications. Access to emergency medical care should also be available. Depending on the region, there might be legal regulations and requirements that influence access to these medications. Always refer to a qualified healthcare provider to obtain a prescription and proper guidance based on your individual circumstances.
