How many months of pregnancy can an abortion be performed?

Patient's question:

How many months of pregnancy can an abortion be performed? I am already 4 months pregnant. But I don't want the child. What should I do? Can I have an abortion surgery?

Doctor's answer:

How many months into pregnancy can an abortion be performed? For those within 49 days of pregnancy, medication abortion or surgical abortion can be chosen. Around 70 days, surgical abortion is the only option. For those over 100 days, induction abortion is necessary. According to social surveys, the reasons for induction abortion among families generally include: natural termination of pregnancy, the baby's gender not meeting parental expectations leading to forced abortion, or the baby having deformities or diseases. The difference between induction abortion, miscarriage, and abortion lies in the fact that the fetus has already passed the three-month danger period. At this stage, even surgical procedures like D&C cannot guarantee the safety of the pregnant woman, let alone medication abortion.
