Can a fever be used for an abortion?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend accidentally got pregnant, but we can't have a child. We're planning to have a medication abortion, but now she has a fever. Can she still have an abortion with a fever?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is not possible to have an abortion surgery during a fever. Generally, during a fever, blood tests often show elevated blood cell counts, which means surgery cannot be performed. Antibiotic treatment for inflammation is required, and most cases need treatment for 3 days. If the indicators return to normal, then the abortion surgery can be performed. If the indicators are still not normal, then focused treatment is necessary. Drink more warm water, eat more vegetables, and pay close attention to rest.
