Patient's question:
I am already 38 years old, and if I have a child, I will be an older mother. I don't want to be an older mother, so I have no choice but to abort the child that is about 20 days old now.Hello, can a woman have an abortion around 20 days pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
At 20 days pregnant, it is not possible to have an induced abortion. Whether it is medication abortion or surgical miscarriage, it is necessary to confirm intrauterine early pregnancy first. Vaginal color Doppler ultrasound can confirm intrauterine early pregnancy earliest, but it must be at least 35 days pregnant. Medication abortion is used for intrauterine early pregnancy within 49 days of amenorrhea, with a gestational sac diameter of less than 2 centimeters. The indications for surgical abortion are relatively more relaxed. The specific situation needs to be checked in the hospital to confirm the method of terminating early pregnancy.
