How long does it take to induce abortion?

Induced abortion is a method of terminating pregnancy, mainly in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, which will cause considerable harm to the woman's body. In order to reduce the harm caused by induced abortion, it is very important to perform the surgery at the best time and choose a good hospital to control risks. So, how long does it take to have an induced abortion during pregnancy? Let's take a comprehensive look below.

It is generally more appropriate to perform induced abortion within 12-24 weeks of pregnancy. It is not suitable for induced abortion within less than three months and more than six months of pregnancy. Induced abortion is extremely harmful to pregnant women and may endanger their lives if they are not careful. Female friends should treat it with caution. Before inducing labor, you must undergo relevant examinations to ensure that your body is suitable for the operation. At the same time, the operation requires hospitalization, and the use of medication will cause an analgesic process similar to childbirth, which has a great impact on the body and a slow recovery.

Induction of labor is divided into mid-term induction of labor and late-term induction of labor. Mid-term induction of labor is a surgical method to terminate pregnancy between 12 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the placenta has been formed, the uterus has enlarged, the uterine wall has become congested and softened, the fetus is larger, and the bones have become harder. The cervix needs to be fully dilated during delivery, which can easily damage the uterine wall. Mid-term induced abortion is much more harmful than surgical abortion, so it is best for women to have an abortion as soon as possible to end the pregnancy.

Pregnancy that lasts more than 24 weeks is considered late pregnancy. At this time, the fetus is larger, the bones are formed and hardened, and the uterine wall is thinner and softer. The induced abortion operation is more difficult and causes greater harm to the female body than mid-term induced abortion. Therefore, induced abortion is best performed in the middle of pregnancy, and the sooner the better. There are two ways of mid-term induction of labor: instrumental induction and medical induction. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Women can choose according to their own situation and needs.

Pregnant women with chronic nephritis will have an increased burden on their kidneys after pregnancy, which is very detrimental to fetal growth and development and maternal recovery; pregnant women with severe preeclampsia will have constriction of small blood vessels throughout the body in the late pregnancy, and will experience symptoms such as high blood pressure, headache and dizziness, vomiting, and lower limb edema. Women whose condition does not improve after treatment should undergo induced abortion as soon as possible to end the pregnancy and protect their own health.

Induced abortion surgery can cause certain damage to women's physical and mental health. Their bodies will be weaker after the surgery, and some people may even be prone to anemia. Therefore, women need proper recuperation after induced abortion, and the appropriate recuperation period is half a month. For those who are usually weak, have poor physical condition, or have lost a lot of blood, the recuperation period can be appropriately extended as appropriate.

The above is an introduction to how long you need to wait before an induced abortion is performed. I hope this will help you understand more. If you cannot keep the child after becoming pregnant, it is best to perform an induced abortion as soon as possible. As the child continues to grow, the harm to the female body will become greater as time goes by. It is recommended to go to a regular gynecological hospital for timely pregnancy surgery to avoid causing more serious harm to the body.
