What to do if you have an unexpected pregnancy

An unexpected pregnancy can have a great impact on a woman. If she becomes pregnant without any preparation and is a minor, she will need to terminate the pregnancy through abortion, and she must be examined by a specialist doctor during this period.

1. Adjust your mentality and accept guidance from gynecologists

All pregnant women, especially young girls, need careful care, so keeping your pregnancy a secret is a risky proposition. The sooner you get medical care the better, and you should tell your doctor even if you can't face your parents. This is the time when you need a doctor's care and psychological counseling the most. You need professional doctors to help you reduce anxiety and make decisions that are beneficial to your lifelong health.

2. Artificial abortion should be performed as soon as possible

The purpose of abortion is to terminate pregnancy. The earlier you have an abortion, the safer it is. If the pregnancy period is less than three months, the operation is relatively simple and safe. After the operation, you can recover and be healthy as usual after a few days of rest. However, if the fetus is more than three months old, the situation is much more complicated, the operation is correspondingly more complicated, and the damage to the human body will also be aggravated.

3. Carefully take care of your body after surgery

(1) Try not to do any physical work after an abortion and stop any strenuous exercise for at least three days.

(2) If you experience heavy vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, vomiting, or high fever, you should seek medical attention immediately.

(3) Do not use tampons within two to three weeks.

4. To prevent unwanted pregnancy , the main thing is to do a good job of contraception. Men can use male condoms; women can use oral contraceptive pills, contraceptive injections, uterine rings, cervical caps, female condoms, topical contraceptives or ovulation estimation methods. For those who have decided not to have children, the recommended method of permanent contraception is vasectomy for men or tubal ligation for women.
