Do you need a parent's signature for an abortion?

Patient's question:

My family doesn't know I'm pregnant. Do I need an adult's signature for the surgery?

Doctor's answer:

As long as it is a regular hospital, it can perform the D&C procedure. It is recommended to choose a regular hospital to avoid infection.
Advice: After the D&C, you need to rest for 2 weeks and prevent catching a cold or a flu. Eat nutritious foods to help your body recover quickly. After the D&C, it is even more important to maintain cleanliness in the external genital area. Wash with warm water 1-2 times a day and change sanitary pads frequently. Do not take a bath for 2 weeks or until the vaginal bleeding has stopped. Avoid sexual activity for 1 month to prevent infection of the reproductive organs. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odor in vaginal discharge after the D&C, it may be due to infection. Seek medical attention promptly.
