How long does it take to have an abortion if you don't want to be pregnant?

Generally speaking, in modern society, due to the improvement of laws and regulations, it is clearly stipulated in the laws that a child cannot be aborted if the child shows human form, because at this time the baby already has the right to reproduce, and the right to reproduce cannot be violated. In this case, an abortion can generally be performed within 47 days of pregnancy. So, how long does it take to abort an unwanted pregnancy?

How long does it take to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy?

Early abortion surgery is a common preventive measure for accidental pregnancy. When the embryo is still relatively small, the uterus is not large, and the embryo has not yet been formed, the pregnancy can be terminated by curettage or vacuum aspiration. So, when is the best time for an abortion? The best time for an abortion is generally before 9 weeks of pregnancy, but to finally determine how long a woman should be pregnant to undergo an abortion, you also have to refer to some test results before the operation. However, if the test tube embryo is very large, or even grows bones, it cannot be extracted with a large plastic straw. At this time, you can only be hospitalized and induce labor with drugs or water bags, and then perform a uterine cleaning operation after the test tube embryo and most of the embryo are expelled.

If the induced abortion operation is unsuccessful, it is necessary to rely on forceps curettage, which is to use instruments to immediately scrape out the test tube embryo and the embryonic uterus. The operation is very risky. It is easy to cause cervical damage and increased bleeding during the operation, and it also increases the risk of infection, uterine damage, and postoperative intrauterine adhesions. Therefore, if you become pregnant unexpectedly and plan to terminate the pregnancy, try to do it within 2 months of pregnancy.

When is the best time for medical abortion? The best time for medical abortion is generally within 49 days of pregnancy. If it exceeds this time, it is best to use other abortion methods. In fact, even if you have an abortion at the best time for medical abortion, there is no way to guarantee a 100% success rate. Generally, the success rate of medical abortion is only 75%. If a woman performs a medical abortion at home without the guidance of a doctor, the 75% success rate may be greatly affected.

Medical abortion is assisted by mifepristone. However, since it is not easy for the decidua to be discharged at the same time after abortion, it is easy to cause incomplete medical abortion, and ultimately surgical curettage is still required. In addition, medical abortion is prone to infection due to prolonged vaginal bleeding, and is more likely to cause endometritis and salpingitis than painless abortion, leading to secondary infertility. It should be noted that medical abortion requires professional medical staff to help observe the fetus and bleeding during the abortion process. Oral medications may cause discomfort, etc., which need to be handled properly. Therefore, medical abortion cannot be performed at home on your own.

What are the common problems after abortion?

If you cannot take good care of yourself after abortion, it is easy to cause various gynecological diseases. What are the common problems after an abortion? You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after an abortion. You should not do heavy physical work or work in cold water within half a month to prevent cold. You should also eat more protein and foods rich in vitamins.

1. Pay attention to rest and improve nutrition. You should rest in bed for 2-3 days after the abortion, then you can get out of bed and move around, and gradually increase your activity level. Do not engage in heavy physical work or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching a cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more fish, meat, eggs, beans and other protein-rich foods and fruits rich in vitamins to promote the repair of the uterine wall.

2. Keep the vulva clean and refrain from sexual intercourse. After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed, and the uterine wall also has a repair process. During this period, you must pay attention to maintaining daily cleaning of the vulva, and wash and change sanitary napkins and underwear frequently. You do not need to take a bath in a tub within about half a month after the operation to prevent turbid water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too soon after an abortion, it can easily lead to subacute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and secondary infertility. Therefore, couples are prohibited from having sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion.

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

4. Adhere to good contraceptive measures. After abortion, the functions of the uterus, ovaries and uterus gradually recover, and the uterus and ovaries ovulate on time. If you do not persist in taking contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, a reliable contraceptive method should be chosen as soon as possible, and contraception should always be the main method. Abortion should not be used as a substitute for contraceptive sterilization surgery.
