Patient's question:
How long into pregnancy is it not possible to have an abortion surgery?Doctor's answer:
Abortions can be performed within 70 days of pregnancy. The optimal time for most abortions is between 35 and 50 days. If an abortion is performed too early, it is very easy to result in incomplete abortion. At an early stage, the embryo is just beginning to develop and is very small, making it easy to experience empty aspiration or missed aspiration, which can lead to surgical failure or incomplete abortion, requiring a second procedure to clear the uterus. After 3 months of pregnancy, only induction abortion procedures can be performed, as the fetus has developed further. During the surgery, the cervix needs to be dilated, etc., which causes greater harm to the female body.
