Patient's question:
Hello! May I ask if I am currently pregnant unexpectedly, but we are financially limited and cannot have this child? It's only been 30 days now. Please advise whether medication abortion is better, or surgical abortion, or painless surgical abortion!Doctor's answer:
Starting from the first day of the last menstrual period, the optimal time for pregnancy is generally between 40 and 70 days. It is recommended to choose the superconducting visual painless abortion procedure, which causes the least damage to the endometrium. The possibility of affecting future pregnancy is slightly reduced.Painless abortion uses a new, safe, and effective intravenous general anesthetic. The anesthesiologist administers the medication intravenously, and the patient enters a sleep state within about 30 seconds. In about 3 minutes, the doctor can complete the surgery while the pregnant woman remains unaware. The entire procedure takes only 5 to 7 minutes. The patient fully recovers consciousness after the surgery and can leave the hospital independently within 30 minutes.
This is because the surgery is performed under anesthesia, which reduces pain. However, it is not completely painless. There is a slight amount of pain when the anesthetic is administered.
If the pregnancy is between 70 days and 14 weeks, forceps curettage is performed. If it exceeds 14 weeks, it falls under the category of mid-pregnancy and requires induction of labor.
