Patient's question:
Doctor, I'd like to ask how long after getting pregnant can an abortion be performed? I think I might be pregnant, but I'm only 21. A few weeks ago, I had sex with my boyfriend, and I was definitely using a condom, but I don't know why I still got pregnant. I found out through a pregnancy test. I definitely can't have the child. When is the right time for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
In the early stages of pregnancy, if you decide to have medication abortion, you need to have it within 49 days of conception. If you decide to have an induced abortion, you need to have it within 70 days of conception. If the time is longer, if you choose to have a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) or induction abortion, the harm will be much greater. It is recommended to act quickly and choose medication abortion or induced abortion as soon as possible. At 42 days of amenorrhea, have an instant intrauterine MRI to check the condition of the gestational sac and adopt an appropriate abortion method in a timely manner. After the surgery, rest well.
