Patient's question:
Pregnancy less than one month, blood test confirmed, can do an ultrasound examination around next Tuesday, but the conditions do not allow.Doctor's answer:
If you choose medication abortion, it is generally recommended within 49 days of a missed period. For surgical abortion, it is typically performed between 40 to 50 days after a missed period. Since you have not missed your period for less than a month, both medication and surgical abortion are a bit too early. It would be better to wait a bit longer.Before undergoing any type of abortion, blood tests, an ultrasound, and an electrocardiogram (ECG) are required. These tests must be completed before the abortion procedure can proceed.
Generally, medication abortion causes less damage. Of course, it has an 80-90% success rate in completely removing the pregnancy, but there is still a 1-2% chance of incomplete removal, which may require a follow-up procedure (D&C). This cannot be guaranteed. Surgical abortion is quicker and more straightforward, but it causes greater harm to the uterus. You can choose between these two options yourself.
Before an abortion, a vaginal discharge test is necessary. If you have any gynecological infections, you must treat them first before undergoing the procedure. Don’t worry, the infections will definitely be treated.
