Patient's question:
I have a friend who is 39 weeks pregnant and now doesn't want this baby. What kind of abortion method should she choose? She had a medication abortion in February 2004. What kind of method should she choose now to minimize harm, as she still wants to have children in the future!!!!!!! Please help!Doctor's answer:
The best time for an abortion is generally between 35 and 50 days of pregnancy. At this stage, the uterus is not yet significantly enlarged, and the fetus and placenta have not fully formed. An abortion can be performed without the need to dilate the cervix, making it easier to remove the fetal tissue.Preoperative examinations before an abortion are very important. They typically include a urine test, ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and a routine vaginal discharge test. These tests can determine whether you have an ectopic pregnancy, any gynecological infections, and accurately assess the size and location of the gestational sac, thereby increasing the safety of the procedure.
It is recommended that you undergo examinations at a reputable maternity hospital. These facilities offer reasonable equipment, pricing, and medical staff, ensuring better safety for yourself.
