Tidak. USG tidak diperlukan sebelum menggunakan pil aborsi. Kebanyakan orang bisa memperkirakan lama kehamilannya secara mandiri. Mereka tidak perlu USG untuk melakukannya.
Kami merekomendasikan untuk melakukan USG dalam beberapa kasus, seperti ketika:
- Kamu mengalami periode menstruasi yang tidak teratur selama 3 kali belakangan.
- Kamu masih menyusui dan periode menstruasi kamu belum kembali lagi.
- Kamu sedang menggunakan kontrasepsi hormonal.
- Kamu ada tanda-tanda mengalami kehamilan ektopik.
USG sebelum aborsi dengan pil bisa memberikan kepastian bagi sebagian orang. Kalau kamu merasa perlu, kamu punya alasan valid untuk tetap melakukan USG.
