What are the dangers of an abortion at four months of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Suddenly I feel like I don't want this child anymore, I want to have an abortion. But, I'm already four months pregnant. What are the risks of having an abortion in this situation? Is it the only option to have a miscarriage? If I have this surgery, what should I pay attention to afterward?

Doctor's answer:

An abortion procedure is a forced way to stop early pregnancy in women, suitable for those who are pregnant for 35 to 50 days. Women who are four months pregnant should not have an abortion, as the risk is particularly high. If you really don't want to have the child, you can consider having an induced abortion. However, induced abortion also carries risks, and postoperatively it may lead to excessive bleeding or cause inflammation and infection.
