Patient's question:
It's not easy to get pregnant, and what's frustrating is that after a thorough check-up, they say the baby isn't healthy enough. If it were born, it might be a mentally disabled child. For this, I cried for a long time. But my husband comforted me, saying it's okay, there will be more in the future, and there's no need to be afraid. I've been pregnant for five months now, and it's said that at this stage, I need to have an abortion. What kind of assistance do you need: I've been pregnant for five months, and the baby isn't doing well. Do I have to have an abortion to solve the problem?Doctor's answer:
An abortion must be performed at a hospital for follow-up.An abortion between 12 and 24 weeks of pregnancy, using artificial methods to terminate early pregnancy, is called an early mid-trimester abortion.
The characteristics of this period are that the placenta has already formed, the fetus is larger, and the bones have hardened, requiring sufficient dilation of the cervical uterus during delivery.
Additionally, due to the enlarged uterus, the uterine wall becomes and softer, making it easier to damage the uterine wall during surgery. Therefore, mid-trimester abortion is more difficult and has more complications than early artificial abortion, so it is preferable to undergo early artificial abortion as much as possible.
Common abortion procedures include intrauterine balloon abortion, medication abortion (such as Rivanol,, and abortion).
