How long does it take to have an abortion at five months of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

How much does an abortion cost in a general regular hospital?
How long does the surgical procedure for an abortion take, and is it very painful?
Is it really necessary to rest like after giving birth after the procedure?

Doctor's answer:

Hello
1. If the abortion at 5 months of pregnancy is smooth, it generally costs over 1,000; if not smooth, the cost is difficult to predict.
2. For induced abortion, medication is first injected into the amniotic cavity. Labor starts within 24-48 hours, and the process lasts about 10-12 hours, similar to a normal delivery.
3. After abortion, like normal delivery, postpartum recovery (zuo yue zi) is necessary to rest and heal the body.
1. After abortion, anti-inflammatory treatment is usually required for 3-5 days to prevent infection and reduce the risk of future infertility.
2. Sexual activity should be avoided for one month after abortion to prevent infection.
3. After abortion, it is important to replenish nutrients and get adequate rest, generally for about one month.
