How long does it take to get an artificial abortion?

There is a time limit for abortion after pregnancy. Generally, medical abortion cannot be used after 49 days of pregnancy, and artificial abortion cannot be chosen after 63 days. At this time, the embryo is too large and induced labor is needed to end the pregnancy. After an abortion, you must pay attention to taking care of your body and avoid catching cold within half a month. This article introduces the time of abortion and various precautions after abortion.

At how many days of pregnancy can an abortion be performed?

How many days can I have an artificial abortion?

The best time for abortion is generally before 9 weeks of pregnancy. However, to finally determine how long you can have an abortion, you also need to refer to some preoperative examination results. However, if the embryo is too large, or even has grown bones, it cannot be sucked out with the largest straw. In this case, you can only be hospitalized and induce labor with drugs or water bags, and then have the uterus cleaned after the embryo and most of the placenta are expelled.

If induction of labor fails, curettage is needed, which is to use an instrument to directly scrape the embryo and placenta out of the uterus. This operation is risky and can easily cause cervical injury and increased bleeding during the operation. It also increases the risk of infection, uterine injury, and postoperative intrauterine adhesions. Therefore, if you plan to terminate an unexpected pregnancy, try to do it within 2 months of pregnancy.

What are the precautions after abortion?

1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After the abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching cold.

2. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. Do not take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too early after an abortion, it can easily cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and may also lead to secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, and other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit in time.

4. Adhere to contraception. After abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you do not persist in contraception, you will get pregnant again soon.

Life tips: Abortion is very harmful to your body and the number of abortions should not be too many. You must not use abortion as a contraceptive measure, otherwise it will be difficult to get pregnant in the future. As a reminder, female friends should know how to take care of their bodies. Before considering having a baby, they must take safety measures and not repeat the same mistakes.
