Patient's question:
My girlfriend is pregnant, but we are both college students, and neither of our parents knows about it, so we have to have an abortion. However, neither of us is familiar with this, so we want to ask, what is the general time frame for having an abortion after getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a surgical abortion can be performed between 35 to 55 days of pregnancy, while medication abortion must be done within 49 days of pregnancy. However, medication abortion is not recommended. It is better to go to a formal hospital and follow the doctor's guidance to undergo a surgical abortion. Rest more during the day, avoid overtime, and maintain a regular schedule. After the surgery, pay close attention to preventing colds and avoid exposure to cold. Eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Abstinence from sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month.
