Patient's question:
I am pregnant but do not want to have a child now. I want to have an abortion. How can I induce an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
After a woman becomes pregnant, most of them show a missed period as a sign for careful examination. Those who know they are pregnant and do not plan to have a child are advised to take a urine pregnancy test and have a color Doppler ultrasound of the uterine appendages to confirm that the gestational sac is located within the uterine cavity. Then, oral abortion medication can be administered. However, if the medication abortion is incomplete and there are still residual tissues in the uterine cavity, a uterine curettage may be necessary. Self-induced abortion may lead to the recurrence of unexpected complications. For health considerations, it is best to undergo an abortion under the guidance of a doctor.
