Patient's question:
My wife had a cesarean section six months ago and recently had a thorough examination that revealed she is pregnant. It has been three months now, and she does not want to continue the pregnancy. She wants to ask the doctor if it is safe to have an abortion at three months after a year since the cesarean section.Doctor's answer:
After a year of cesarean section, I am now three months pregnant. Due to the short interval since the surgery and the relatively long pregnancy duration, the fetus has already formed. In this case, it is not possible to have an abortion because the surgical risks are too high. This situation can be considered for hospital-induced abortion or oral medication to expel the fetus. After the fetus is expelled, the condition can be assessed to determine how to perform uterine evacuation. If evacuation is necessary, it is best to be carried out under ultrasound monitoring.
