Patient's question:
I am more than ten months pregnant. The day before yesterday, I had a low fever that didn't go away, and after that, I received two days of intravenous fluids and took many medications. I am worried that my sadness will affect the baby's health, so I don't want this child. I want to have an abortion. Hello, can I still have an abortion at ten weeks and four days pregnant?Doctor's answer:
I'm pregnant and have taken many medications. I don't plan to keep this child. At ten weeks pregnant, it's usually around 70 days, and it's too late for an abortion. I'll have to undergo a miscarriage procedure. After the surgery, you can take some oral herbal medicines to replenish qi and nourish blood. Rest well, avoid excessive exercise, pay attention to your diet, drink more water, and eat easily digestible foods. Avoid foods that are too stimulating—cold, hard, or spicy. Pay attention to hygiene, wipe your external genital area daily, and soak your feet in warm water every night.
