Patient's question:
How many days of pregnancy is it possible to have an induced abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The best time for painless abortion is within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Between weeks 10 and 14, as the embryo gradually grows, the placenta has already formed, and the uterus also expands. At this stage, simple aspiration is not suitable for abortion, and a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure is required. This surgery is more complex, involves more bleeding, and has a slower recovery period, which can have a certain impact on the body. If the pregnancy exceeds 14 weeks, the aforementioned two types of painless abortions cannot be performed, and a hospital admission for induction of labor is necessary. This further increases the pain for the pregnant woman and the risk of the surgery.
