Can I have a painless abortion at 10 weeks?

In today's society, the number of abortions is gradually increasing, but there are time requirements for abortions. Different abortion methods should be used in different time ranges to minimize the damage. So, can an abortion be performed at 10 weeks of pregnancy? What method would be more appropriate? What should you pay attention to before and after the operation? Let's take a look together.

Can I have an abortion at 10 weeks of pregnancy?

The best time for abortion is around 40-70 days of pregnancy, and it can usually be done within 12 weeks. However, an ultrasound examination is actually required to check the size of the gestational sac to see if it is suitable. If you are not planning to have a baby, it is recommended to have an abortion as soon as possible to minimize the damage. Generally, painless abortion is suitable for early pregnancy within 70 days of pregnancy. If you are 10 weeks pregnant and decide to terminate the pregnancy at this stage, you need to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. If the gestational sac is one month old, termination of pregnancy requires induction of labor (requires hospitalization).

Painless abortion refers to an abortion surgery performed under intravenous anesthesia. It is based on the suction abortion surgery, with the addition of intravenous general anesthesia, and there is no pain during the operation. Painless abortion uses a new, safe and reasonable intravenous general anesthetic. The surgeon will be given the drug intravenously and will enter a dormant state in about 30 seconds. The doctor can perform the operation in about 3 minutes while the pregnant woman is unconscious. The entire operation only takes 3 to 5 minutes. The pregnant woman regained consciousness after the operation and was able to leave the hospital on her own within 30 minutes. Although painless abortion will not make you feel pain, it should not be done frequently. It is not good for the body and may lead to the inability to conceive in the future.

Common questions before and after abortion

Frequently asked questions before surgery

1. You need to take a shower and change into clean underwear the night before the abortion; 2. Wear loose jeans as much as possible and keep sanitary napkins and handkerchiefs ready.

3. Avoid sexual intercourse within one week before abortion; 4. If you are having an abortion, avoid eating and drinking for about 6 hours before the operation. 5. Before the abortion, a corresponding gynecological examination and routine physical examinations such as urine pregnancy test, B-ultrasound, blood, and urine are required.

Common problems after surgery.

1. Get enough rest. It is best to rest in bed for the first three days. Since there is a wound on the uterine wall after the abortion, if you move too early, it may increase the duration of vaginal bleeding. Generally, you should avoid physical activity and exercise within half a month.

2. Appropriately increase nutrition. Since surgery will cause bleeding and cause certain damage to the human body, you should promptly supplement some foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, live fish, eggs, milk or beans.

3. After abortion, the body's immunity decreases, so more attention should be paid to cleanliness and hygiene.
