Patient's question:
At the end of May, I had an abortion without anesthesia. By the middle of August, I had already tested positive for two red lines a week before my period was due. If I were to have a medication abortion, when should I do it?Doctor's answer:
surgery must be confirmed as an intrauterine pregnancy through ultrasound before it can be performed. The optimal time is generally between 40-70 days after the first day of the last menstrual period.Advice: Seek treatment at a reputable large hospital or a Grade III-A hospital, as there are more authoritative experts and better safety guarantees. Early abortion is risky because the embryo is just beginning to develop and is very small, making it prone to incomplete suction (empty aspiration) or missed aspiration, which can lead to surgical failure or incomplete abortion, requiring a second procedure. Late abortion poses risks due to the longer gestation period and larger gestational sac, resulting in more bleeding and greater damage.
