Patient's question:
I am 27 years old, female, and I found out I was pregnant after a check-up. I haven't been pregnant for long. How many weeks pregnant can one have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to undergo a careful ultrasound examination to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy before considering induced abortion or medication abortion to achieve the purpose of terminating early pregnancy. Around 7 weeks of amenorrhea, medication abortion can be used; within 8 weeks, induced abortion can be considered. Based on your situation, I personally recommend that you decide on an appropriate method of abortion according to your actual gestational age, and medication abortion is recommended. Daily routines should include regular sleep patterns, adequate warmth protection, a diet rich in light, soft, and easily digestible foods, frequent ventilation, and drinking plenty of hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
