Patient's question:
I am 21 years old this year. Around this time, my period was delayed for a long time, and I also experienced recurrent nausea symptoms. Later, I discovered after a careful check that I had been pregnant for two weeks. I don't really want the child and want to have an abortion. So, I want to ask how many weeks pregnant can one have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is necessary to have a thorough check with an ultrasound to confirm an intrauterine early pregnancy after five weeks of gestation, which is one week of delayed menstruation. If it is confirmed that the early pregnancy needs to be terminated, it can be decided between a visual painless abortion or medication abortion between weeks 6 to 8 of pregnancy. It is important to take precautions to prevent minor miscarriages during this period. Proper contraceptive measures should be taken to avoid affecting the endometrium and even causing the possibility of secondary infertility.
