Patient's question:
My cousin is six months pregnant, but she wants to have an abortion now. Can you have an abortion at six months?Doctor's answer:
Six months into her pregnancy, due to various reasons, she does not want to focus on early pregnancy and considers an abortion as a solution. At this stage, the opportunity for an induced abortion has already been lost because the pregnancy has been too long. Hospitalization is required for the abortion. The doctor will use medication to promote cervical ripening, and then, under the doctor's guidance, oxytocin will be used to enhance uterine contractions, allowing the fetus to be delivered outside the body. Post-surgery, it is important to rest more.
