If the requirements are not met, the operation cannot be performed.

Can I have an abortion at three weeks of pregnancy?

Early abortion is a common remedy for contraceptive failure. When the embryo is still relatively small, the uterus is not large, and the placenta has not yet formed, the pregnancy can be terminated using curettage or vacuum aspiration. The best time for abortion is generally before 9 weeks of pregnancy. If the embryo is too small, this method of abortion is not recommended. Generally, if you are 3 weeks pregnant, you cannot have an abortion at this time. It is recommended to observe carefully and consider abortion after confirming intrauterine pregnancy. It is best to have an abortion under the guidance of a doctor.

The best time to have an abortion is when you are more than 40 days pregnant, and no later than 70 days. If your menstruation is now delayed for three weeks, which is about 50 days of pregnancy, it is recommended that you have a color Doppler ultrasound examination first to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. If it can be confirmed to be an intrauterine pregnancy, you can have an abortion.

Abortion is too harmful. During the process of painless abortion, bacteria from the vagina or cervix may enter the uterus and cause intrauterine infection. During the abortion operation, due to the doctor's lack of experience or operational errors, heavy bleeding or uterine perforation may occur, and may even pose a threat to life safety. If the abortion is not clean, it may also cause complications such as vaginal bleeding. After a painless abortion, there may be sequelae such as cervical or uterine adhesions. Some women may develop a fear of sexual life and cause disharmony in the relationship between couples for fear of getting pregnant again after a painless abortion. Some women may experience symptoms such as pale complexion, sweating, dizziness, chest tightness, slow heartbeat, and low blood pressure due to bleeding, tension, etc. after an abortion.

How many weeks does it take to have an abortion?

The time for abortion is 35-50 days after the pregnancy is confirmed. Before the abortion, the doctor must confirm the intrauterine pregnancy through HCG and B-ultrasound diagnosis, and determine that the number of days of conception and the size of the gestational sac are suitable for painless abortion. Generally, after more than 35 days of pregnancy, the gestational sac in the uterine cavity can be clearly seen under B-ultrasound. At this time, the gestational sac is not large and the uterine wall is thicker, so the gestational sac is easy to remove. The doctor can use hysteroscopic visual technology to suck out the gestational sac. Relatively speaking, it causes little harm to the body, has low surgical risks, and allows for quick recovery. Since the operation is less difficult, the cost of the operation will also be reduced accordingly.

Patients who are pregnant for more than 70 days should also go to the hospital for examination in time. Because the development speed and size of the gestational sac will vary depending on individual physical conditions, women can also choose to have an abortion if the gestational sac has not yet exceeded the safe range of abortion.
