Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness.Is parental consent required for an abortion at the age of 16?
Doctor's answer:
Your girlfriend is 16 years old and pregnant for 35 days, requiring parental consent for an abortion. It is best to choose a surgical abortion, as it is safer and more guaranteed. Medical abortion is prone to incomplete miscarriage, so it is better to undergo a hysteroscopic-guided dilatation and curettage. Postoperatively, there will be no residual tissue, and it generally does not lead to severe bleeding. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
