What is the best time to have an abortion?

Artificial abortion, commonly known as artificial abortion, is a way for women to end an unwanted pregnancy. Therefore, when many women have an unplanned pregnancy, the first thing they think of is to go to the hospital for an artificial abortion as soon as possible. In fact, artificial abortion cannot be performed at any time. If it is performed at an inappropriate time, it will cause great harm to women's health. So when is the best time for women to have an abortion?

[Best time for abortion] Abortion is easiest and safest around 35-55 days of pregnancy

①The best time for abortion is 35-55 days. According to a gynecologist at Beijing Cikang Hospital, if an abortion is performed between 35 and 55 days of pregnancy, the operation will be relatively safe and simple, and the time it takes for the woman's body to recover after the operation will be shorter. Because the fetus has not yet formed at this time, the uterus is not too large, and the muscles of the uterine wall are thicker, the embryo can be easily sucked out. Therefore, the operation time is short, the amount of bleeding is small, and the body recovers faster after abortion. If this time is exceeded, the surgical procedure will be more complicated and the recovery time after surgery will be longer. For women, the damage to the body is greater.

② The best time to have an abortion. If you have an abortion too early, because the embryo has just begun to develop and is still very small, it is easy to have empty or missed aspiration, which will cause the failure of the operation, or an incomplete abortion. If this happens, you will need to undergo another uterine curettage. Therefore, many women who are eager to solve the "trouble" as soon as they find out they are pregnant might as well listen to the doctor's advice and wait for a week or two before rechecking. Gynecological experts from Beijing Cikang Hospital remind you: Generally, abortion can be performed if the gestational sac is larger than 5MM, but due to individual differences, the best time for individual abortion should be determined based on the size of the gestational sac.

③The best time to have an abortion is too late. If you have an abortion too late, the pregnancy will be too long and the gestational sac will be too large, so the bleeding will be relatively heavy and the damage to the body will be greater. If the pregnancy is advanced, the fetal skeleton has been formed, the uterus has become larger, and the uterine wall has become thinner, the operation will be more difficult to perform, and the operation will take a long time, with a large amount of bleeding and a prolonged postoperative recovery time, causing greater pain to women. If the best time for abortion has passed and the pregnancy has exceeded 10 weeks, abortion cannot be performed and hospitalization for induced labor is required, which increases the pain of the pregnant woman and the risk of the operation. Therefore, pregnant women who need an artificial abortion should try to have it done within 10 weeks of pregnancy to reduce the pain of the abortion.

How much does it cost to have an abortion? There is no unified concept of abortion costs, which includes the following three aspects:

Preoperative examination fee: According to the relevant regulations of the National Health Department and the National Family Planning Department, the examination items for women before abortion surgery include: B-ultrasound, routine leucorrhea examination, blood test, electrocardiogram, etc. The purpose of the examination is to detect whether there is gynecological inflammation, ectopic pregnancy, abnormal physical health status, etc., which is crucial to your physical health.

Surgical expenses and anesthesia expenses: The surgical fee for painless abortion is determined based on the instruments and facilities used in the operation, the technical level of relevant medical personnel and the cost of anesthesia. There are many ways of painless abortion, such as: ordinary abortion, painless abortion, superconducting visual painless abortion, etc. The prices of these types of painless abortion are different. When choosing a painless abortion procedure, women need to choose the abortion method that suits them based on their own physical condition, financial situation and doctor's advice.

Postoperative medical expenses: Recovery and uterine-preserving drugs after painless abortion surgery. The doctor will prescribe postoperative recovery and uterine-preserving drugs based on the physical needs and postoperative recovery needs of the woman after the abortion to help women reduce inflammation and relieve pain after the abortion and quickly recover to their pre-operative physical condition.
