Patient's question:
A while ago, my girlfriend accidentally got pregnant, but we are not financially ready for a child right now. After discussing it, we decided to delay her period for a long time. I was very worried about her pregnancy and bought a pregnancy test kit from a pharmacy. The test results showed that she was pregnant. Can an abortion be performed in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
1. If you discover you are pregnant but do not wish to conceive, you should make every effort to undergo an induced abortion within 10 weeks. Because the later the pregnancy, the more complications the surgery may have, so do not wait until the pregnancy is more advanced to have an induced abortion or miscarriage. One week before the induced abortion, sexual activity should be avoided. One day before the surgery, take a bath and change clothes to prevent catching a cold or getting a flu.2. It is recommended to seek treatment at a more authoritative hospital. One week before undergoing an induced abortion, sexual activity should be avoided. One day before the surgery, take a bath and change clothes to prevent catching a cold or getting a flu. You need to fast and not drink water for four hours before the surgery. However, it should be noted that women with acute or chronic systemic diseases, or severe damage to the heart, liver, kidney, or other functions, or those with acute or chronic reproductive system inflammation, are not suitable for induced abortion.
