Medication-induced termination of pregnancy is increasingly used nowadays, for it is more physiological and the emptying of the uterus occurs without mechanical impact on its walls. Although this method is deprived of a number of problems that may occur during a surgical abortion, it is not deprived of the possible development of post-abortion complications. That is why the study of the development of possible complications, and therefore ways to prevent them, is an urgent task. The article presents data of comparative analysis concerning medical abortion, its effectiveness and complications in physiological and regressive pregnancies. 114 clinical cases of termination of pregnancy were analyzed. Of these, in 40 cases there was non-developing pregnancy and 74 cases form physiologically developing but unwanted pregnancy. Our study demonstrated the high efficiency of this method (97%). The main complications both during the process of medical abortion and in the post-abortion period were revealed. Taking into account the possible risk factors of medical abortion that can cause complications contributes to the improvement of the effectiveness of this method and reduction in the number of complications.
