How long does a painless abortion take?

Many young girls do not know how to protect themselves. They have sex before getting married and do not take proper contraceptive measures. Therefore, unexpected pregnancies often occur. The best solution is to have a painless abortion. You must grasp the time for a painless abortion. If the embryo is too large, the risk of the operation will be greater and the harm to women will be greater.

1. The best time for abortion

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. So, when is the best time for 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.

2. 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.

3. The best time for medical abortion

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 better to adopt other abortion methods.

In fact, even if you have an abortion at the best time for medical abortion, there is no guarantee of a 100% success rate. Generally, the success rate of medical abortion is only 75%. If a woman secretly performs a medical abortion at home without the guidance of a doctor, the 75% success rate will be greatly reduced.

Medical abortion is a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol. 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 surgical curettage is still required in the end. Moreover, medical abortion can cause prolonged vaginal bleeding and easily lead to infection. It is more likely to cause endometritis and salpingitis and lead to secondary infertility than painless abortion. It should be noted that medical abortion requires professional medical personnel to help observe the fetus and bleeding during the abortion process. Oral medications may cause discomfort, etc., so they can be dealt with in a timely manner. Therefore, you cannot perform a medical abortion at home.
