Patient's question:
Recently, my physical condition has been quite poor. I've been getting sick frequently and have been taking some oral medications. Yesterday, I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant with a child. However, I have had uterine fibroids for a long time. I hope you can help me with this question: If my health is not good and I have uterine fibroids, can I still have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
It is possible to have an abortion if you have uterine fibroids. It is recommended to go to a regular public hospital in your local area for this. However, it is advised to have a detailed ultrasound examination before the abortion to check the location and size of the fibroids, in order to prevent them from causing difficulties during the surgery. This could help avoid complications such as incomplete aspiration or missed aspiration. Additionally, it is important to consider and decide on the appropriate surgical method beforehand. If necessary, the procedure can be performed under magnetic resonance guidance or as a visualized abortion.
