How long into pregnancy can an abortion be performed?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend is pregnant and wants to find a suitable date for an induced abortion. How long after pregnancy can an induced abortion be performed?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, if your menstrual cycle is regular, if you haven't had your period for more than 40 days, you should have an ultrasound to check if you are pregnant. If you find out you are pregnant, you can consider an abortion without pain. It is generally best to do it around 40-50 days. If the time is too long, it may be more troublesome and may require hospitalization. Before the surgery, do not drink water or eat dinner. Go to the hospital on an empty stomach. After the surgery, pay attention to rest.
