Patient's question:
I previously had a firstborn son and am currently 118 days pregnant, considering an abortion procedure! However, the hospital requires an abortion certificate, which we cannot obtain at the moment. I’m asking if there are any hospitals that do not require an abortion certificate?Doctor's answer:
Without an induced abortion certificate, undergoing an induced abortion is illegal under China's family planning law. Moreover, an induced abortion requires family members to accompany and sign, and it can only be done after hospitalization. Because induced abortion also carries risks. It is recommended that you obtain the necessary certificate and then visit a regular public hospital for consultation, examination, and the induced abortion procedure. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any method of induced abortion can cause certain harm to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Induced abortion patients should take care of themselves, such as adjusting their diet appropriately, keeping warm, and avoiding getting cold.
