Patient's question:
I have been dating my boyfriend for several years and have done everything a couple should do. Last month, when I had sex with my boyfriend without using any protection, this month I didn't go to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found out I'm pregnant. However, I don't want to have a child yet. I would like to ask when would be the best time for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
When undergoing an abortion, it is important to decide on an appropriate time, as either being too early or too late can increase the harm to the body. If a woman is pregnant for 35 days, the embryo is still very small and just beginning to grow. If an abortion is performed during this period, it is easy to experience complications such as uterine emptiness or leakage during the surgery, which may lead to either unsuccessful surgery or incomplete miscarriage. If such complications occur, a second surgery to clear the uterus may be necessary. However, no matter when an abortion is performed, it causes significant harm to a woman's body, so it is important to consider it carefully.
