Patient's question:
I'm not married yet, and I haven't been paying attention to contraception recently, so I got pregnant. I feel quite regretful afterward. Because I don't feel I'm ready to be a mother yet, I'm planning to have an abortion. How harmful is it to have an abortion after being pregnant for over a month? Thank you for the doctor's explanation.Doctor's answer:
Being pregnant for over a month and having an abortion does cause harm, but as long as you receive proper treatment after the surgery, your body will not be affected in the future. It is essential to go to a regular hospital for thorough examinations to confirm intrauterine pregnancy before undergoing an abortion procedure. On the day of the abortion, you must go to the hospital on an empty stomach for the surgery. After the surgery, you must be observed in the hospital for two hours before being discharged. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion.
