Patient's question:
What should I do in this situation? Can I have surgery? Three months pregnant, can I have an abortion under anesthesia? Previous treatment history and outcomes: I have had two abortions before and a ectopic pregnancy surgery last year. I got pregnant during the National Day holiday this year, and had some health issues during that time, taking medication. The doctor advised against keeping the baby, fearing it might lead to intellectual disability in the child. If I cannot keep this one, will it interfere with future fertility? Besides, although I have just reached three months, I am very sad. The bigger the fetus, the greater the harm to the mother. Doctor, what should I do in this situation? How can I minimize the pain? What kind of assistance do I need? Will it interfere with future fertility? Can I have an abortion under anesthesia?Doctor's answer:
You can have an abortion within 70 days of becoming pregnant. If it's less than 70 days, it generally requires a miscarriage procedure. I think since you're three months pregnant, it's better to have a miscarriage surgery. It's recommended to have a follow-up check-up at the hospital before the procedure to confirm.After the procedure, eat more nutritious foods, and consider taking traditional Chinese medicine or foods that boost qi. It's best to consume motherwort. Drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy foods. Pay special attention to vaginal hygiene. You must strictly avoid sexual intercourse for at least one month after the procedure.
