Patient's question:
On November 14th of last month, I had my period. Today is December 24th, and I took an early pregnancy test this morning, which showed a faint positive. Can you determine how far along I might be? Is it safe to do medication abortion now?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy can generally be terminated with medication within 49 days of gestation. However, medication-induced abortion has significant side effects and can easily lead to incomplete miscarriage, requiring uterine evacuation, which causes considerable damage to the uterus. It is recommended to choose the superconducting visual painless abortion procedure, which causes the least harm to the endometrium. The best time for painless abortion is between 35 and 60 days, with the pregnancy period calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. The earlier the surgery, the less harm it will cause to the body.
