Patient's question:
A 39-year-old woman, after getting sick, found that taking medicine had little effect and she still felt uncomfortable. Please ask: Can an abortion be performed if the gestational sac is 26 cm at 10 weeks of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
General medication abortion is typically performed within 45 days of pregnancy, while induced abortion is recommended within 7-14 weeks. If the pregnancy is less than 14 weeks, it is advisable to undergo an induced abortion procedure. This is because as the gestational age increases, the surgery becomes more complex, with higher blood loss and greater risks to the body. Therefore, if an induced abortion is chosen, it is generally better to have it done as early as possible. Delaying the procedure should be avoided to prevent serious harm to the body.After the procedure, the patient should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is important to maintain a positive mood in daily life and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods. Drinking plenty of water, as well as eating more vegetables and fruits, is also recommended.
