Patient's question:
I am 16 years old and have not yet reached adulthood, but I accidentally got pregnant with my boyfriend. Can minors have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
16 years old is not yet an adult. Minors who become pregnant unintentionally can still undergo medication abortion or surgical abortion, but it is best to avoid frequent miscarriages. If recovery is not complete, it can easily lead to menstrual disorders and may even cause secondary infertility. It is particularly likely to result in conditions such as thinning of the endometrium and uterine adhesions. It is recommended to go to the hospital for resolution at an appropriate gestational age.
