Patient's question:
I'm pregnant and want to go to the hospital to have an abortion, but I don't know what tests are needed before the procedure?Doctor's answer:
Pre-abortion examinations mainly include the following points:1. Routine gynecological examination: Conducted by a gynecologist, this includes a vaginal examination and bimanual palpation to provide a comprehensive assessment of the patient's gynecological condition.
2. Routine vaginal discharge examination: To determine if there are trichomonas or Candida present in the vagina. If necessary, tests for chlamydia, mycoplasma, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae may also be performed. The presence of these microorganisms can lead to ascending infection, affecting embryonic development during future pregnancies and potentially causing miscarriage.
3. Colposcopy.
