Pictures of curettage and dilatation

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 abortion?

The best time for abortion is generally before 9 weeks of pregnancy, but to finally determine how long a pregnancy is suitable for an abortion, we must 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.

Is it better to do painless abortion surgery as soon as possible?

Some women choose painless abortion to have a miscarriage, but many people are not clear about the treatment time of painless abortion surgery. So is it better to have the painless abortion surgery as soon as possible?

Generally speaking, it is not the sooner the better to have a painless abortion. If the fetus is not yet in the uterus or is still relatively small, it is not suitable for abortion. You can consider going to the hospital for an ultrasound examination about 6 weeks after menstruation to check the condition of the fetus. If the size is appropriate, you can consider abortion.

Generally speaking, abortion can be performed within 90 days of pregnancy, but the longer the pregnancy and the larger the fetus, the greater the difficulty and risk of abortion, and the more difficult and difficult the surgery is. However, it does not mean that the sooner the abortion is performed, the better. For example, it is inappropriate to have an abortion before 35 days of pregnancy, because the fetus is still too small and it is easy to cause aspiration of the fetus.
