With the development of society and the openness of people's sexual concepts, there are many young women who have unexpected pregnancies and do not want children.

It is very likely to lead to very serious consequences. So, when is the best time to have an abortion? The following will explain in detail for female friends.

When is the best time to have an abortion?

Generally speaking, the best time for abortion is from the first day of the last menstrual period to the 6th to 8th week when you are preparing for the operation. At this time, the connection between the embryo and the uterus is not too close, the limbs are smaller, and it is easy to suck out. The operation is short and simple, with less bleeding, and is safer for pregnant women. There are certain disadvantages to starting too early or too late. If the period exceeds 10 weeks, the surgical risk increases, the safety factor decreases, and recovery is slow.

If the abortion is performed too early, before 35 days of pregnancy, the embryo is too small and it is difficult to suck out the tissue and it is not easy to suck it out cleanly.

If an abortion is performed too late, during the 70-90 days of pregnancy, the embryo is gradually growing, the placenta has been formed, and the gestational sac is relatively large, which will inevitably expand the cervix to a greater extent. At this time, the abortion operation is more difficult and there will be more bleeding.

If the pregnancy lasts more than 90 days, an induced abortion is required, which will increase the pain of the pregnant woman and the risk of the operation. The uterus is easily damaged and the recovery is slow, which has a greater impact on the body.

Anyone who wishes to terminate a pregnancy due to contraceptive failure or who is not suitable to continue the pregnancy due to various diseases can have an artificial abortion.

However, artificial abortion is not advisable temporarily in the following circumstances:

1. Patients in acute attacks of various acute infectious diseases or chronic infectious diseases, severe systemic diseases (such as heart failure, obvious hypertension, tuberculosis with high fever, and severe anemia, etc.), who cannot withstand surgery, and patients with acute genital inflammation, such as vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, and pelvic inflammatory disease.

2. Acidosis caused by severe vomiting during pregnancy has not been corrected

3. Body temperature is above 37.5℃ twice within 4 hours before operation.

4. Painless abortion requires understanding of the heart condition to ensure the safety of anesthesia. Patients with poor heart function should choose surgery according to doctor's advice.

The above introduces the best time to have an abortion. So, female friends who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant must make a decision as soon as possible if they do not want the child. It is best to have an abortion within 10 weeks to reduce the pain caused by the operation. And after the operation, you must pay attention to diet and vaginal hygiene, and also do proper exercise so that female friends can recover their health as soon as possible.
