Patient's question:
I originally wanted to have a second child, and I am already five months pregnant. However, my body has had another issue, and I cannot carry the pregnancy to term. Can I have an abortion at five months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Five months pregnant, you can also have an abortion. You can get a medical certificate for your illness from the hospital, and then take this certificate to the local family planning department to get a certificate for out-of-plan pregnancy. You can then be admitted for an abortion. Before the abortion, you need to have thorough preoperative examinations. If there are no contraindications, you can have an abortion. Generally, intravenous amniotic sac anesthesia with ritodrine is considered to be relatively ideal. After the abortion, you need to rest well. Avoid catching colds, and sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month.
