Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for over a month. Now I want to have an induced abortion. How long can I have a painless abortion within?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it seems that painless induced abortion is similar to regular induced abortion, as long as the gestational sac can be seen on ultrasound. This usually occurs around 7 weeks of pregnancy. A medication abortion can be performed within 7 weeks of pregnancy. Compared to direct induced abortion, medication abortion causes relatively less harm to the endometrium. For pregnancies between 7 and 10 weeks or longer, a painless induced abortion can be directly performed in an outpatient operating room.
