Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with cervical erosion and candidal vaginitis at one point. However, I recently found out I'm pregnant, and now I'm 45 days along, but nothing shows up on the ultrasound. Can I have a medication abortion in this situation?Follow-up question: But the test says it's a retroverted pregnancy—is that okay?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it depends on the specific situation. Some gynecological infections do not affect induced abortion, while others do. At 35 days of pregnancy, if everything is normal, it is possible to have an induced abortion.It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up first to see what gynecological infection it is. If it does not affect you, you can proceed with the procedure. The best time to have an induced abortion is during the optimal period, which can minimize harm to your body.
Additionally, since preoperative tests are required before an induced abortion, it is advised not to eat breakfast on the day of the procedure. After the surgery, it is important to rest in bed for the first three days, minimize getting up and moving around, and enhance your nutrient intake to promote faster recovery.
