Does a minor need a guardian's signature for an abortion surgery?

Patient's question:

Does a minor need a guardian's stamp for an abortion procedure?

Doctor's answer:

Normal intrauterine pregnancy within 49 days of amenorrhea, when the gestational sac size is between 1.0-2.0 centimeters, medication-induced abortion can be administered. For pregnancies between 69 days of amenorrhea, with gestational sac sizes ranging from 2.0-3.0 centimeters, surgical abortion can be performed. Based on your description, it is necessary to visit a hospital for an MRI examination to assess the position and size of the gestational sac and rule out ectopic pregnancy. Both excessively large or small gestational sacs can lead to incomplete miscarriage. During medication-induced abortion, a family member's signature is required.
