Can fetal malformation abortion be done?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a detailed 4D ultrasound examination at 24 weeks of pregnancy. The doctor said that our baby might have congenital heart disease. The doctor mentioned that congenital heart disease is one of the two types of fetal abnormalities. If the fetus has abnormalities, can I have an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, it is necessary to have regular prenatal check-ups. Between the 22nd and 28th weeks of pregnancy, a 4D ultrasound can be used to thoroughly examine the fetus for any abnormalities in the womb. If the fetal abnormalities are severe, they can be resolved through induced abortion. Induced abortion can cause significant harm to the body, so it is important to rest more after the procedure. Maintain a light diet and keep a positive mood.
