Patient's question:
Hello, I am a high school student and have a long-term boyfriend. We occasionally have sex. But due to an accident, I got pregnant. Now I want to have an abortion. But I don't know how long it will take because I have to go back to class. What is the process of an abortion? How long does it take? Thank you for your pregnancy sac photo.Doctor's answer:
If you are not planning an accidental pregnancy, you can wait until about 40 days after your period to go to the hospital for a B examination. After ruling out ectopic pregnancy, you can choose to have an induced abortion or a medication abortion. The surgical time for an induced abortion is generally around two to three minutes. It is recommended to rest appropriately and maintain good nutrition after the surgery, avoid cold food, keep your abdomen warm, and avoid early pregnancy planning in the future. Safe contraceptive measures should be used to prevent accidental pregnancy. Frequent induced abortions are harmful to your body and the endometrium.
