Therefore, the total time generally ranges from 30 minutes to around 60 minutes. After the procedure, once the patient regains consciousness, they can return home on their own and do not need to be hospitalized. For two weeks after the abortion, it is important to rest and avoid exposure to cold. Intercourse should not be resumed for one month.There are many methods for treating diseases, but since each patient's condition is different, the treatment approach must be tailored accordingly. Therefore, it is essential for patients to seek professional medical evaluation as soon as possible for a detailed examination so that the appropriate treatment can be administered.
