Patient's question:
How long does it take to have an abortion? My boyfriend and I are in the early stages of our careers and don't want to have children yet. However, after a few days, I realized I was pregnant. Now I'm hesitant about having a child. I want to ask, what is the best time to have an abortion in terms of pregnancy duration? When is the optimal time for an abortion during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the most common methods of induced abortion are surgical dilation and curettage and medication abortion. Different surgical methods are adopted depending on the timing of early pregnancy. Medication abortion is suitable for early intrauterine pregnancy within 49 days of early pregnancy. For miscarriage within 12 weeks of early pregnancy, the embryo tissue in the uterus is usually removed, followed by aspiration with a suction device and surgical forceps. Hysteroscopic induced abortion can also be used for early pregnancy within 35 to 60 days of menopause. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
