Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 25 years old this year and have been pregnant for three months. I recently heard about an abortion procedure, but I don't know what it is. I would like to understand it a bit, so I would like to consult the doctor about what an abortion procedure is?Doctor's answer:
An induced abortion procedure generally refers to a surgical intervention to terminate early pregnancy between 15 weeks and 27 weeks of gestation. It can involve options such as transcervical osmotic abortion using a water sac, intramural anesthesia with ritodrine for abortion, or the oral administration of mifepristone combined with misoprostol to terminate the pregnancy. Between 11 weeks and 14 weeks of gestation, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be chosen to terminate the pregnancy. Maintain physical and mental well-being, and keep personal hygiene to prevent bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
