Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, she has been feeling uncomfortable physically for a while. She didn't pay attention even though she was pregnant, but now it's getting a bit serious. Please ask: Can she have an abortion without pain at 15 weeks of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
You are 15 weeks pregnant and cannot have an abortion without anesthesia. The best time for an abortion without anesthesia is within 10 weeks of pregnancy. Between 10 and 14 weeks, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is required to terminate early pregnancy. After 15 weeks, an induction abortion is necessary. At 15 weeks, the fetus is already fully formed. If you have the conditions to have a child, I recommend you keep this child. If you are certain you do not want this child, it is safer to have an induction abortion at a municipal or county-level hospital or a maternal and child health hospital.
