Patient's question:
I am already 40 days pregnant. I have thought about it for a long time, but I still think it's better not to have this child, because my current financial situation is not very good. I would like to ask the doctor, can I have an abortion now that I am 40 days pregnant?Doctor's answer:
At 40 days of pregnancy, an abortion procedure can be performed. An abortion procedure includes a D&C (dilation and curettage) and medication abortion, which are measures to address unintended pregnancies. Generally, an abortion procedure is suitable for women who are pregnant between 45 and 55 days, requiring a thorough ultrasound examination to confirm early pregnancy within the uterine cavity. Medication abortion is typically performed within 49 days of pregnancy. A very small gestational sac may lead to a missed aspiration during the procedure, making it difficult to visualize during medication abortion.
