Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I have an abortion at four and a half months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is possible to have an abortion at 4 and a half months of pregnancy, but abortion carries certain risks. It is recommended to go to a regular and qualified hospital. Generally, it is possible to have an abortion without pain surgery within 3 and a half months of pregnancy. It is relatively easier to have an abortion at 2 and a half months of pregnancy because the earlier the surgery, the less painful and safer it is, and the faster the postoperative recovery. Conversely, the surgery will be more complicated, and the postoperative recovery time will also be longer. Between 2 and a half and 3 and a half months of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually grows, the placenta has already formed, and the uterus also expands. At this time, it is more difficult to have an abortion, there is more bleeding, and the recovery is also slower, which has a certain impact on the body. If the pregnancy exceeds 3 and a half months, it is necessary to have an abortion without pain, which further increases the pain for the pregnant woman and the risk of the surgery.
