Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was on December 22, 2012, and it ended on December 31, 2012.On February 20, 2013, an ultrasound revealed a pregnancy of 60 days, with a visible embryo and audible fetal heartbeat.
I am a student, and this is my first pregnancy. I don’t know if I can have an abortion now?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, yes. Generally, it is recommended to have an abortion without anesthesia within 70 days of pregnancy, and the best surgical time for this procedure is between the 35th and 50th day of gestation. At this stage, the gestational sac is relatively small, and the fetus and placenta have not yet formed. Usually, there is no need to dilate the cervix, making it easy to remove the embryonic tissue. The procedure involves minimal reactions, bleeding, and a shorter operation time. After the surgery, you can go home after resting for 1 hour, and recovery is quick with minimal impact on your body.
