Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for five months, but now something has gone wrong, and I don't want the child anymore. Hello, how long after becoming pregnant can one have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Based on your current gestational age, you are in the second trimester. If you do not wish to continue the pregnancy, you will need to complete hospital admission procedures and undergo an abortion procedure using medication such as mifepristone combined with misoprostol, or undergo a laminaria intramembranous instillation under amniotic cavity anesthesia with ethacrynic acid. This cannot be done as an outpatient miscarriage; outpatient miscarriages are only allowed if the gestational age is within 60 days of the last menstrual period. Since miscarriage involves certain risks, it is highly recommended to go to a local reputable private hospital with at least secondary-level accreditation.
