Patient's question:
How long after pregnancy is it not possible to have an abortion surgery?Doctor's answer:
Abortions can be performed within 70 days of pregnancy. The optimal time for most abortions is between 35 and 50 days. If an abortion is performed too early, it is very easy to experience incomplete abortion. Performing an abortion too early can be problematic because the embryo is just beginning to develop and is very small, making it easy to occur empty aspiration or missed aspiration, which can lead to surgical failure or incomplete abortion, requiring a second procedure to clear the uterine cavity. After 3 months of pregnancy, only induction abortion procedures can be performed. This is because the fetus has developed, and the surgery requires dilating the cervix, etc., which causes greater harm to the female body.
