Patient's question:
She is already a mom to two children. She has always used contraception, but she doesn't know what went wrong and ended up pregnant unexpectedly. She is too old to have more children and wants to consult about her situation. Is it possible to have an abortion and undergo a procedure at the same time in her case?Doctor's answer:
Adopting a surgical abortion, if the pregnancy duration is relatively short, it can be considered to be performed at the same time as the surgery. However, since there is a possibility of uterine contraction issues during the surgical abortion, this stage may stimulate the endometrium and affect its recovery, leading to prolonged bleeding. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to perform them together during the surgical abortion process. It is usually advised to wait until a normal menstrual period occurs before considering it.
