Patient's question:
This month, my period has already passed for five days, and this morning I used a test strip to find out I'm pregnant. I don't want this child because my first child is still very young, only a little over one year old. I want to have an abortion, but I'm still afraid of the pain. I want to ask how long it might take to complete the procedure in this situation.Doctor's answer:
In your current situation, since the gestational sac is very small, you may need to wait a few more days. Generally speaking, before considering an induced abortion, the size of the gestational sac should be greater than 1.5 centimeters. Generally, the time for an abortion procedure is relatively short, about 10 minutes to half an hour. However, if you are sensitive to pain, painless induced abortion may take longer, about half an hour to an hour.
