Patient's question:
I am 16 weeks pregnant, but the doctor said the fetus's growth and development are not good. I want to ask the doctor if it is possible to have an abortion at 16 weeks.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if the problem is due to abnormal fetal growth and development, it is possible to perform a mid-trimester abortion surgery to address the issue. Under normal circumstances, if there is a possibility of fetal abnormalities, such as malformations, it is necessary to promptly perform an abortion surgery for symptomatic treatment. First, it is essential to rule out any other physical abnormalities that may lead to contraindications for abortion. If there are no abnormalities, oral medication can be administered for treatment.
