Patient's question:
I am more than one month pregnant and am still struggling with whether to have an abortion. Hello, how many days after abortion is the least harmful?Doctor's answer:
Around 35-45 days of pregnancy, undergoing an abortion is least harmful. If an abortion is performed too early, because the embryo is just beginning to grow and develop, it is more likely to result in a successful procedure or incomplete abortion, which may require a second procedure such as a D&C, causing greater harm to the uterus. Around 35-45 days of pregnancy, undergoing a painless abortion is relatively safe and simple, with a shorter postoperative recovery period. However, if the pregnancy is too far along, the fetus has grown larger, and the abortion procedure can cause more significant injury to the body, as well as more bleeding.
