Patient's question:
My ex-boyfriend drank some alcohol with me, and then we had sex. Now I'm pregnant this month, and I'm too embarrassed to go to the hospital.Doctor's answer:
As a doctor, I do not recommend that you have an abortion yourself, as the risks are very high, especially for those who are further along in their pregnancy. Severe bleeding leading to death is not uncommon. I suggest you have the procedure done at a regular hospital. If you really can't face the embarrassment, you can go to a hospital in an adjacent district or county, find a place where no one knows you, and no doctor will ask too many questions. The cost is generally around 1,000 to 2,000, and you can usually be discharged after the surgery is completed, but you should rest for about a month.
