Patient's question:
Doctor, my cousin had a child with her boyfriend, and she only told her family after five months. Can I have an abortion at five months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Your cousin is currently five months pregnant. If she does not plan to keep the child, she can have an abortion. However, since the pregnancy has advanced significantly, the fetus has already taken shape, and an abortion can cause considerable harm to her body. Therefore, it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons and consider an induction abortion. A "license for minor induced abortion" must be obtained. It is recommended that she undergo the induction abortion procedure at a regular hospital as an inpatient. After the abortion, she must pay close attention to rest, maintain a balanced diet, and take antibiotics to prevent inflammation and infection. Additionally, she should take medication to suppress lactation.
