Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for ten months, and the due date is approaching. I would like to ask the doctor what precautions should be taken during the levonorgestrel-induced abortion process?Doctor's answer:
Since it has been ten months since conception, if the pregnancy is intended to be preserved, it cannot be terminated using RU486. However, if there are any issues with the child that make preservation impossible, then undergoing an abortion at ten months gestation carries significant risks. The process of abortion may be similar to childbirth. There is a possibility of vaginal laceration and a risk of heavy bleeding, so close and careful observation is necessary.
