Patient's question:
A 45-year-old woman knows she has discomfort in her body but hasn't seen a doctor yet. She asks: If she suspects she is pregnant and wants an abortion, is it possible?Doctor's answer:
This is just a suspicion of pregnancy, but further careful examination and diagnosis are necessary. If the menstrual period has not arrived after about forty days, a color ultrasound can reveal whether there is a gestational sac in the uterus for diagnosis. Generally, medication abortion is recommended within the first fifty days of pregnancy. If it's been too long, a surgical abortion should be considered, and the situation can be decided accordingly at that time.Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it's important to keep a positive mood, eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
