Patient's question:
The earliest time for induced abortion is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period or from the day of ovulation, which is around 40-50 days. Can an abortion be performed earlier than this time?Doctor's answer:
The best time for is to have an abortion within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. This is because the earlier the abortion surgery is performed, the simpler and safer it is. Conversely, the surgery becomes more complex, and the postoperative recovery time is longer. A common method of abortion is aspiration. It is suitable for women who are pregnant within 10 weeks. At less than 10 weeks, the uterus is not too large, and the fetus and placenta have not yet formed. Generally, there is no need to dilate the cervix, making it easy to remove the fetal tissue. During the surgery, the reaction is mild, bleeding is minimal, and the procedure is short. After the surgery, rest for 1-2 hours, and you can go home. Recovery is quick, and the impact on the body is small.
