Can a six-month pregnant woman have an abortion?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I have an abortion at six and a half months of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, medical abortion can be performed within 49 days of pregnancy, causing less damage to the uterus. Surgical abortion can be done within three months of pregnancy. Before undergoing surgical abortion, an ultrasound examination is required to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. A follow-up ultrasound is recommended one week later to rule out the possibility of uterine atony or residual tissue. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of abortion will have some impact on the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Patients undergoing abortion should pay attention to self-care, such as keeping warm and avoiding cold exposure.
