Patient's question:
How many days of pregnancy is it relatively safe to have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
The most suitable time for an induced abortion is within 6-10 weeks of pregnancy, as the procedure becomes simpler and safer the earlier it is performed. Before 10 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is not yet significantly enlarged, and the fetus and placenta are not fully developed. Generally, there is no need to dilate the cervix, making it easier to remove the fetal tissue. The procedure involves mild reactions, minimal bleeding, and a shorter operation time. After the surgery, a one-hour rest is usually sufficient to go home, with a relatively quick recovery and less impact on the body.However, between 10-12 weeks of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually expands and the placenta is fully developed, the surgical difficulty increases, and recovery becomes slower. This can also have a certain impact on health. Therefore, women who need an induced abortion should strive to have the procedure within 10 weeks to minimize discomfort.
