Patient's question:
Doctor, I am currently 6 months pregnant, but I don't want to have the baby. Hello, what are the consequences of having an abortion at 6 months?Doctor's answer:
Abortion refers to artificial methods of inducing miscarriage, including Dilation and Curettage (D&C) and medication-induced abortion. It is generally suitable for early pregnancy within the first three months and serves as a remedy for unintended pregnancies. If the pregnancy is less than three months along, abortion methods cannot be used to terminate early pregnancy. In such cases, a surgical induction of labor is required. This involves artificially inducing uterine contractions to deliver the fetus, similar to the natural process of full-term labor.
