Is it risky to have an abortion at 33 weeks?

Patient's question:

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant. Due to family reasons, I don't want to focus on this baby anymore. Can I have an abortion at 33 weeks? Is the risk of abortion very high?

Doctor's answer:

At 33 weeks, an induced abortion can cause significant harm to the uterus and may lead to repeated incomplete abortions, requiring multiple uterine cleanings. If the baby is healthy, it is best to try to preserve it. If the pregnancy is truly unwanted, a certificate is required before an induced abortion can be performed. After an induced abortion, it is important to rest for about a month to prevent overexertion and to avoid getting cold. Pay attention to maintaining your own physical health.
