Can a seven-month pregnancy be induced?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling very troubled recently. I've been pregnant for seven months, and I want to have an abortion. Can I still have an abortion at seven months?

Doctor's answer:

Seven months pregnant, it is still possible to have an induced abortion. However, the larger the gestational age, the greater the potential harm to the body. In addition to the risk of uterine atony leading to severe bleeding or placenta retention, there are other risks. If a thorough examination indicates that the fetus is normal, it is still necessary to obtain an induced abortion certificate from the family planning station. After the procedure, it is important to rest as much as possible, maintain a positive attitude, enhance external genital hygiene, and follow a light diet to promote a full recovery.
