Patient's question:
Doctor, last month I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend. This month, my period didn't come, and after a thorough check-up, I found out I'm pregnant. I don't plan to keep this child, so I'm thinking of getting an abortion next week. I'd like to ask you, what are the issues I need to pay attention to in the early stages of pregnancy for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Before you consider an abortion, you must first have an ultrasound examination. Through a thorough ultrasound check, if the gestational sac is observed and an ectopic pregnancy is ruled out, then it can be considered for an abortion. It should be noted that even if you choose medication abortion, it must be performed in a hospital. Medication abortion may not be completely effective and may require a follow-up Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure. It is recommended to opt for surgical abortion, as it can be more effective in ensuring complete removal.
