Patient's question:
I have already had two children and recently got pregnant again. Neither of us wants this baby, so we want to have an abortion at the hospital in the next few days. But suddenly, I developed symptoms of a cold yesterday. Can I still have an abortion at the hospital during a cold?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you first treat your cold before undergoing an abortion procedure. Within the first three months of pregnancy, you can consider terminating the early pregnancy through artificial abortion. If the fetus is older than three months, an induced labor procedure will be required. As the gestational age of the fetus increases, the risks of miscarriage or induced labor also increase. Therefore, during your cold, you should go to the hospital and allow the doctor to provide symptomatic treatment for your cold. After the cold is treated early, it would be better to undergo the miscarriage procedure.
