Patient's question:
How many days pregnant is it safe to have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
The most suitable time for an abortion is within 6-10 weeks of pregnancy, as the earlier the procedure, the simpler and safer it is. Before 10 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is not too large, and the fetus and placenta are not yet fully developed. Generally, there is no need to dilate the cervix, making it easy to remove the fetal tissue. The procedure involves mild reactions, minimal bleeding, and a shorter operation time. After the surgery, a one-hour rest is usually sufficient to go home, with a relatively quick recovery and less impact on the body.However, between 10-12 weeks of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually expands and the placenta is already fully developed, the surgical difficulty increases, and recovery becomes slower. This can also have a certain impact on health. Therefore, women who need an abortion should try their best to undergo the procedure within 10 weeks to minimize pain.
