Patient's question:
Less than a year after living with my boyfriend, I got pregnant, but my family didn't agree. I had to go for an abortion. My period hasn't come for almost two months, and I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. I have no appetite and feel weak all over. The thought of having an abortion makes me even more sad. What are the methods of abortion?Doctor's answer:
There are two methods to terminate early pregnancy: surgical abortion (vacuum aspiration) and medication abortion.1. Surgical abortion (vacuum aspiration) involves using a suction tube with a negative pressure of 400–500 mmHg to rapidly remove early pregnancy tissues from the uterine cavity based on the duration of pregnancy and the size of the gestational sac. This method is simple and relatively safe, with less interference to health. However, repeated procedures or abnormal uterine positioning may lead to complications such as uterine perforation, skin tearing, or infection. It is generally favorable for future conception.
