Patient's question:
I have been living with my boyfriend for a while. My period was delayed by half a month this month. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found out I was pregnant. Considering that we are still young and don't have the ability to raise a child, could you please tell me if an abortion without pain is possible at 38 days of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
An induced abortion refers to the surgical method used to terminate early pregnancy, also known as "artificial" termination of pregnancy. The methods of induced abortion include vacuum aspiration and curettage, among others; vacuum aspiration involves using a hollow catheter to enter the uterine cavity and extracting the embryo through negative pressure, while curettage uses forceps to remove large pieces of the embryo from the uterus. It is recommended to have the procedure performed at a local, reputable, and authoritative hospital. The cost of induced abortion varies by region.
