Patient's question:
I want to understand when can I have an abortion within several months of pregnancy? I have just carefully discovered that I am pregnant and don't know when is the most appropriate time to have an abortion.Doctor's answer:
Young women, if they have just found out they are pregnant, may consider it to be an early pregnancy, typically within 48 days. If a color ultrasound confirms an intrauterine pregnancy, they can decide to have a medication abortion. Generally, medication abortion may cause less harm to the uterus. It is recommended to rest and wait until the pregnancy is confirmed as intrauterine before going to the hospital for a medication abortion. After the miscarriage, oral medication should be given to expel blood clots and prevent infection.
