Decades of research show that medication abortion with mifepristone + misoprostol is safe, with serious complications occurring in fewer than 0.4% of patients.

So why are people questioning it? People are using a flawed report to spread misleading claims.

You’re browsing social media and you see some claims about “balancing out your hormones.” You wonder.

Unfortunately, many hormone fixes promoted online – like supplements, herbs, or specific diets – are not backed by strong evidence.

Some facts to remember 👇
-The fertility method ≠ protection

Tu es en ligne et tu tombes sur du contenu qui parle de « rééquilibrer tes hormones ». Tu te poses des questions.

Malheureusement, beaucoup de solutions proposées en ligne (suppléments, plantes, régimes spécifiques) ne reposent pas sur des preuves solides.
