Patient's question:
I am about 40 days pregnant and now want to have an abortion. When is a good time for the procedure?Doctor's answer:
The best time for painless abortion is between 35-60 days of pregnancy, with the pregnancy period calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. The earlier the surgery, the less harm it will cause to the body. One week before the artificial abortion, sexual activity should be avoided. On the day before the surgery, take a shower and change clothes to prevent catching a cold or getting sick. On the day of the surgery, fasting and dehydration are required. If the body temperature exceeds 37.5°C, the surgery should be rescheduled. During the surgery, it is important to cooperate closely with the doctor and not to be overly anxious.After the artificial abortion surgery, you should be observed for 2 hours and monitor vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. If there are no adverse reactions, you can go home. The cost of painless abortion ranges from 600-1500 yuan, including pre-surgery examinations, surgery fees, and post-surgery anti-inflammatory treatment fees. The cost may vary depending on the specific hospital.
After artificial abortion, you need to rest for 2 weeks and take precautions against catching a cold or getting sick. Eat more nutritious foods to help your body recover quickly.
