How many months of pregnancy can you have an abortion?

Artificial abortion is a common method of terminating pregnancy. There are strict time limits for artificial abortion. If the pregnancy is more than 12 weeks, artificial abortion cannot be performed. At this time, only induced labor can be performed. Therefore, if you want to have an artificial abortion, you must do it in advance, because the harm of induced labor will be greater. Let us take a brief look at this aspect below.

How many months of pregnancy can you have an abortion?

If the pregnancy is within 49 days, you can have medical abortion or surgical abortion. If the pregnancy is around 70 days, only surgical abortion can be done. If the pregnancy exceeds 12 weeks, the above two types of artificial abortion cannot be performed, and hospitalization for induced labor surgery is required, which increases the pain of the pregnant woman and the risk of the operation. Therefore, pregnant women who need artificial abortion should try to undergo vacuum aspiration surgery within 10 weeks of pregnancy to reduce the pain of the abortion. Regarding the timing of abortion, the editor recommends that women should first undergo an ultrasound examination to confirm the size of the gestational sac. If the gestational sac is larger than 5MM, abortion can be performed. The best time for abortion is 35-50 days of pregnancy. If it exceeds 70 days, abortion is not recommended.

Traditional abortion requires that a gestational sac larger than 1 cm be visible in the pregnant woman's uterine cavity. The double-chamber decompression painless abortion surgery only requires the gestational sac to be larger than 5MM. Effective surgery for early pregnancy. It can relieve pregnant women’s worries ten days in advance, and there is no need for curettage or dilation of the uterus. The gestational sac can be successfully removed within 3 minutes. Pregnancy is counted from the first day of the last menstrual period. Why should we choose the best time for abortion? Abortion can be performed within 70 days of intrauterine pregnancy. It depends on the size of the gestational sac. If the pregnancy period is less than 35 days, the gestational sac is too small to be suitable for surgery. If the gestational sac develops quickly, surgery can also be performed. After 70 days of pregnancy, if the gestational sac is too large, induced labor is generally required.

Therefore, painless abortion performed within 70 days can reduce pain and speed up recovery after surgery. After 70 days, the gestational sac becomes larger, the operation becomes more difficult, bleeding becomes more severe, and recovery becomes slower. Only artificial abortion or induced labor can be performed at a later stage of pregnancy. After 14 weeks of pregnancy, painless abortion is no longer possible and hospitalization for induced labor is required. For women, it is important to know that beating children is not that simple. Some women lose the chance to get pregnant next time because of beating children; some women endanger their lives because of beating children. Therefore, for women who have an unexpected pregnancy, if they want to have an abortion, it is best to do it when they are just pregnant to reduce the harm to women.

Vaginal bleeding after abortion

Generally speaking, there are three common situations in which vaginal bleeding does not occur the day after abortion:

1. The abortion operation was successful, all the embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity was sucked out, the uterus contracted well, the blood vessels were closed, and there was no obvious postoperative bleeding.

2. The abortion operation failed, the embryonic tissue was not sucked out, and the embryonic sac continued to develop. The uterus of some patients is in a special position, and it is not easy to explore the uterine cavity. During the abortion, the suction tube is not operated properly, resulting in leakage.

3. Complications of abortion surgery: adhesion of the uterine cavity and cervix, blocking the blood accumulation channel, and no blood flows out of the vagina.

The first situation is normal. The third situation is uterine congestion. Uterine congestion is often accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal distension and pain, low fever, and intrauterine infection. The doctor can feel the enlarged uterus through gynecological examination and the patient feels tenderness; B-ultrasound examination can show intrauterine fluid accumulation. Hematogenous uterine cavity can easily lead to serious consequences such as uterine cavity infection and pus accumulation. If you are really worried, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination about 10 days after the abortion to learn more about the postoperative condition of the uterine cavity.
