Patient's question:
When the abortion was performed, it was at 4 and a half months, and now it has been half a month since the abortion, but the lochia has not stopped yet.Doctor's answer:
The painless abortion procedure uses a new, safe, and effective intravenous general anesthetic. The surgeon administers the medication intravenously, and the patient enters a sleep state within about 30 seconds. Under the unconsciousness of the pregnant woman, the doctor can complete the surgery in about 3 minutes. The entire surgical process only takes 5 to 7 minutes. The pregnant woman fully recovers consciousness after the surgery and can leave the hospital independently within 30 minutes. If the pregnancy is between 70 days and less than 14 weeks, a dilatation and curettage (D&C) is performed. If it exceeds 14 weeks, it is considered mid-pregnancy and requires induction of labor.
