Patient's question:
My wife has been pregnant for several months, but during a recent thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor found that the baby had stopped breathing. Therefore, the doctor recommended an induced abortion. However, my wife has been constantly worried and upset. Now, the doctor has recommended a painless induced abortion. How is an induced abortion performed at a maternity hospital?Doctor's answer:
Abortion, also known as early pregnancy termination, generally refers to the use of artificial or medicinal methods to terminate early pregnancy within 3 months. This method is used as a backup measure for unintended early pregnancy after successful contraception, as well as for those who cannot continue early pregnancy due to illness, or who need to terminate early pregnancy to prevent congenital deformities or hereditary diseases. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination and surgery at a local professional and regular hospital. If the early pregnancy has lasted longer, surgical induction of labor is required, which is more expensive, around 1,000 yuan. Currently, no further explanation is needed—simply go to the hospital for induction of labor.
