Patient's question:
I am three months pregnant. Recently, I had an argument with my boyfriend and don't want this child anymore. Can I have an abortion at three months?Doctor's answer:
Normal induced abortion is usually performed within 12 weeks of pregnancy. If an abortion is performed at three months of pregnancy, forceps curettage is required. The risk of uterine perforation and bleeding is high with forceps curettage, and it carries certain risks. Therefore, since you are already three months pregnant, there is a certain risk if you choose an abortion. If it can be preserved, it is best to preserve it. If it cannot be preserved, an induced abortion to terminate early pregnancy should be performed around four months of pregnancy.
