Patient's question:
I am a female, 18 years old. I have been considering having a child recently. Could you please tell me: How much harm does giving birth at 18 cause?Doctor's answer:
Women generally enter puberty between the ages of 12 and 14, when the reproductive system gradually develops and matures, allowing them to have normal fertility without any harm. Medication abortion is only suitable for normal intrauterine pregnancies within 49 days. If you want an abortion after 42 days, you would need to undergo a surgical abortion. This procedure can cause damage to a woman's body, so it's important to focus on physical recovery afterward.At 18, although the age isn't very young, the body hasn't fully developed yet, so it's not advisable to get pregnant too early. Additionally, the method of abortion depends on your specific situation. If the gestational sac is too large or if it's before 42 days, a surgical abortion may be necessary. Within 42 days, if it's not an ectopic pregnancy, a medication abortion can be performed.
