Patient's question:
Intending to have an abortion.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, an abortion is required after the pregnancy exceeds 14 weeks. The larger the pregnancy month, the more harm abortion poses. Due to the need for the cervix to be fully dilated and the placenta and fetal bones already formed, abortion can cause many harms to women. For example, it can easily lead to complications such as postpartum hemorrhage, birth canal injury, and amniotic fluid embolism, as well as secondary infections and other issues. In rare cases, pregnant women may be allergic to abortion drugs, leading to poisoning, shock, and other severe consequences. Therefore, experts advise that women should not choose abortion unless there are special circumstances. If it is absolutely unavoidable, they must undergo the procedure at a regular hospital under the guidance of experienced doctors.
