Do you need to open the following for an abortion procedure?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Non-surgical methods are also available, including acupuncture-induced abortion. During the abortion process, uterine canal damage may occur. Due to strong uterine contractions, a small and less elastic cervix, the risk of uterine canal damage is often high, such as posterior fornix, cervical canal laceration, and vaginal laceration. In such cases, the lacerated area should be clearly exposed and immediately sutured to achieve hemostasis.
