Patient's question:
I am a week late on my period, and I think I might be pregnant. However, this child cannot be kept. I don't know how long it usually takes to have an abortion after becoming pregnant.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if menstruation occurs again with a delay, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy, in order to avoid the risk of ectopic pregnancy and subsequent severe bleeding. For medication abortion, the optimal time is approximately 50 days. If it is an induced abortion, it should be done within three months. However, induced abortion causes significant harm to the body, so it is essential to consider it carefully. Avoid spicy, irritating, raw, and cold foods, do not use cold water, and pay attention to preventing colds.
