Patient's question:
My wife is now five months pregnant, but unfortunately, the fetus has problems and we had to have an abortion. How can an abortion be performed at five months?Doctor's answer:
Your wife is now five months pregnant. If there are problems with the fetus during this stage and an abortion is necessary, it generally requires hospitalization and an abortion procedure. There is no need to take abortion drugs because the fetus is already quite large at this stage, making medication abortion infeasible. Instead, the Rivanol amniotic cavity infusion technique is typically used. This involves injecting the drug into the amniotic cavity, which can stimulate the uterus to cause contractions and lead to natural labor.
