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 10 weeks of pregnancy. Between weeks 10 and 14, as the embryo grows gradually and the placenta has formed, the uterus also expands. At this stage, simple suction abortion is not suitable, and a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure is required. This surgery is more complex, involves more bleeding, and has a slower recovery, 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.
