Patient's question:
Hello, I am pregnant. Can I have an abortion at 10 days and 4 months? Is it extremely painful?Doctor's answer:
If you are more than three months pregnant and do not want to keep the pregnancy, you should be hospitalized for an induced abortion. In this case, medication is used to induce regular contractions, and the cervix dilates. After the fetus is delivered, a uterine aspiration procedure is performed, which takes 2 to 3 days. Blood tests should also be conducted to prevent complications such as amniotic fluid embolism and excessive bleeding. If the aspiration is incomplete, a second procedure may be necessary. After the abortion, it is important to pay attention to proper nutrition and rest, and to rest for about one month.
