Patient's question:
Hello, doctor! I had my period on October 31st (my cycle is usually around 25 days). On November 12th, I ovulated (confirmed by ultrasound). On November 25th, at midnight, I had light brown vaginal discharge, which lasted until midnight on November 26th and has not stopped since. Today morning, I went to the hospital for a blood B-HCG test, and the result was 477.1. The doctor said the number was too low, and taking pregnancy pills wouldn't help, so I need to wait until December 10th to go back to the hospital for a color ultrasound to check. If it doesn't work, I might have to have a miscarriage!I'm so anxious now, do I really have to have a miscarriage?
Doctor's answer:
precautions one: Time. Many of us may not know that there is a time limit for abortion. Generally, it is required to be within one to two months of pregnancy, with the best time being 35 days to 50 days. Why is there a time limit? Because the pregnancy cycle is too short when it's too small to be visible, and too long when it's too big, it's not possible!precautions two: Do not eat anything six hours before the procedure. It is recommended to have the surgery in the morning. Why is this suggested? Because the surgery involves intravenous anesthesia, and after anesthesia, the patient is unconscious. At this time, the muscles are in a relaxed state, and effective swallowing is affected. If the patient eats something, it is likely to be vomited back into the throat. Since the patient cannot swallow promptly, it may be inhaled into the respiratory tract, potentially leading to aspiration pneumonia or even asphyxiation and other anesthetic accidents!
