Patient's question:
I am a female college student. I found out that I am pregnant and want to have an abortion. How long after pregnancy can an abortion be performed?Doctor's answer:
refers to an induced abortion procedure or artificial methods to terminate an unintended pregnancy, including Dilation and Curettage (D&C) and medication-induced abortion, which are measures to address an unintended pregnancy. Generally, induced abortion procedures are most suitable between 45 to 55 days of pregnancy. A pre-procedure ultrasound examination is required to confirm early intrauterine pregnancy. The latest time allowed is not exceeding 12 weeks of pregnancy. If it is less than 12 weeks, an induction of labor procedure is necessary.
