Patient's question:
I am 8 weeks pregnant and need to have an abortion without pain. I have had syphilis before, with a 1:1 result. In the morning, I took a blood test on an empty stomach, and the laboratory said I need to take another blood test. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
If you have had syphilis in the past, you need to have a re-examination to see the specific situation before undergoing an induced abortion. If it's already been 8 weeks, then go to a regular hospital's gynecology department and work with the doctor to resolve it. Take medication as prescribed by the doctor, have a re-examination after a period of time, and have another blood draw. It's possible that some tests were not done, and you may need another blood test. It's also possible that the tests revealed some abnormalities, and the doctor wants to verify it again.
