Patient's question:
I am almost 15 weeks pregnant. Is the pain of induced abortion at 14 or 15 weeks significant? Will an abortion at this stage interfere with future pregnancies?Doctor's answer:
You are three and a half months pregnant, fifteen weeks. At this stage, if you have an abortion, the pain is generally not very severe. The main pain is usually before the surgery, when uterine contractions cause lower abdominal pain. The level of pain is usually within a range that you can tolerate. An abortion procedure generally does not interfere with your ability to conceive in the future. It is recommended that you rest well for two weeks after the surgery and take precautions to prevent infection. Maintain physical and mental health, keep personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
