At 36 days pregnant with cramping and spotting, can I have a medication abortion?

Patient's question:

No other diseases, the last menstrual period was on November 29th. The menstrual period is usually 4-5 days earlier than expected. Now I am about 36 weeks pregnant. Can I have an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

The reactions after an induced abortion mainly include:
1. Post-abortion syndrome, characterized by symptoms such as bradycardia, irregular heartbeat, hypotension, pale complexion, dizziness, chest tightness, profuse sweating, and in severe cases, even fainting or convulsions.
2. Incomplete uterine evacuation refers to the presence of residual placenta or fetal tissue after an induced abortion.
3. Reproductive system infection.
4. Uterine perforation is one of the severe complications after an induced abortion.
5. Uterine adhesions.
6. Failed aspiration.
7. Hemorrhage during the procedure.
Induced abortion can be performed within 70 days, and medication abortion is effective within 49 days. Of course, the earlier the procedure is done, the better.
