Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section a year ago, and my baby was fed with formula milk from birth. Recently, I found out I'm pregnant again (40 weeks pregnant). Today, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor refused to perform a painless abortion on me, saying that the only option is to stay in the hospital for medication-induced abortion. It seems like I'm in the same situation as you—can I have a painless abortion a year after a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
Generally, women who have had a cesarean section may conceive a year later. In this case, they have a scarred uterus. If an induced abortion is performed, it may lead to dangerous situations such as uterine perforation. Medication abortion does not require artificial and thorough removal of the embryo, so it is much safer. It is not to say that induced abortion is completely impossible, but medication abortion is much safer for you. It is recommended that you communicate with your doctor and implement an abortion in a timely manner. If the pregnancy is less than 49 days, medication abortion cannot be performed if the fetus is larger. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
