Five months pregnant, can I have an abortion under anesthesia?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I have an abortion without pain at five months of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Medical abortion within 45 days, surgical abortion within 60 days, Dilation and Curettage (D&C) within 100 days, induction abortion within 6 months
Medical abortion (using Mifepristone and Misoprostol). However, it may fail, requiring a follow-up D&C. If there is a significant amount of residual tissue in the uterus, a D&C is necessary. In fact, under normal circumstances, any method of abortion can have some impact on the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Patients undergoing abortion should focus on self-care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
