Patient's question:
A few days ago, I carefully checked and found I was pregnant, but I want to have an abortion. Do I need to fast and hold my urine for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
General hospitals can perform vaginal ultrasound without needing to hold urine. Some hospitals, however, require holding urine to perform vaginal ultrasound. But if you are undergoing an abortion without anesthesia, you may need to fast for 6 to 8 hours. It is recommended that you first hold enough urine and then go to the hospital for a thorough examination. A gestational sac measuring over 1 centimeter in size generally allows for an abortion. A miscarriage may affect future fertility, so it requires careful consideration.
