Patient's question:
I am already more than 40 days pregnant, but due to some reasons, I haven't prepared to have this child. I want to have an abortion but am afraid of the significant harm it may cause to my body. How can an abortion at 40 days be less harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is important to choose based on your specific situation and the results of a thorough examination. You can decide on medication abortion within the first 49 days of pregnancy. However, medication abortion has significant side effects and can easily lead to incomplete miscarriage, requiring a uterine procedure to resolve, which poses considerable harm to the uterus. It is recommended that you opt for a painless abortion, as it is safer.Please avoid overexertion and refrain from consuming foods that are raw, cold, or icy, as these can cause irritation. Also, take care to prevent exposure to cold. During the miscarriage period, sexual activity must be strictly avoided to prevent infection and discomfort.
