Doctor's answer:

1, Patients undergoing an abortion need to take a bath the night before the surgery and wear clean underwear and pants;
2, Wear loose pants as much as possible and bring your own sanitary pads and toilet paper.
3, Avoid sexual activity within one week before the abortion;

5, Take misoprostol orally before the surgery to soften the cervix, increase tension, and enhance intrauterine effects, which helps prevent cervical damage and adhesion;
6, Additional gynecological examinations, including a urine early pregnancy test, ultrasound, blood tests, and routine urine tests, are required before the abortion.
