Patient's question:
I found out a few days ago that I'm pregnant, and I already have a child. I don't want another one, so I need to have an abortion. Can you tell me if an abortion can be done at the same time as an induction?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, under normal circumstances, it is not possible to have an induced abortion at the same time as a miscarriage. A miscarriage does not require surgery, while an induced abortion does. This is different from some people undergoing tubal ligation at the same time as a cesarean section. During a cesarean section, it is considered to be performed simultaneously to prevent the need for another surgery in the future for an induced abortion. However, there is no need to perform an induced abortion at the same time as a miscarriage.
