Major use of mifepristone in obstetrics gynaecology is?
A) ectopic pregnancy
B) molar pregnancy
C) fibroid uterus
D) threatened abortion
A??
Yes, it's A. Please explain.
Mifepristone is abortifacient. It causes abortion by blocking progesterone.
But what if the ectopic site is not in connection with the uterine lumen. How will it be aborted?
I guess progesterone level in required to maintain the implantation.. A decrease in progesterone will cause it ectopic pregnancy to abort from that place.
That's right.
Mifepristone is also sometimes used to end pregnancies when more than 49 days have passed since the woman's last menstrual period; as an emergency contraceptive after unprotected sexual intercourse ('morning-after pill'); to treat tumors of the brain, endometriosis (growth of uterus tissue outside the uterus), or fibroids (noncancerous tumors in the uterus); or to induce labor (to help start the birth process in a pregnant woman).
