Patient's question:
Aunt went for a prenatal check-up today. The doctor asked her to consider whether to have an abortion. What are the differences between an abortion and normal labor?Doctor's answer:
Abortion is a procedure performed after 12 weeks of pregnancy due to reasons related to the mother or the fetus. The difference between abortion and normal labor is that anesthesia must be administered into the amniotic cavity before the abortion, causing the fetus to die. After that, the subsequent process is the same as a normal delivery. After an abortion, it is important to rest the body and it is recommended to rest for at least one month. Avoid getting cold or overexerting yourself, and also focus on enhancing nutrition to promote full recovery.
