Patient's question:
After testing with some early pregnancy test strips, it showed pregnancy, probably within the last two weeks. If you don't want to continue, what should you do?Doctor's answer:
You can choose based on these times: for medication abortion, it can be done up to 49 days, which is equivalent to 7-14 weeks, and can lead to accidental absorption. After a hospital-induced abortion, it can be done up to 14 weeks. The best time, of course, is the earlier the better, as complications are fewer. It is recommended not to rush into a procedure but to opt for medication abortion, which can clean up and minimize the impact on the person. However, there is a 20% chance of residual tissue, which may necessitate a second cleaning of the uterus. Under normal circumstances, painless abortion is performed after 7 weeks, involving a D&C procedure. Medication abortion can minimize harm to the person.
