When is the best time to have an abortion?

There are many couples or boyfriends and girlfriends who have unexpected pregnancies because they do not take protective measures when they are together. When this happens, many people think of abortion first. In fact, abortion has certain restrictions and it is not something you can do whenever you want. So when is the best time to have an abortion? Let’s find out together!

Abortion is an artificial miscarriage, which is the act of intentionally ending a pregnancy, removing an embryo, or causing fetal death.

Before the abortion operation, regular hospitals should conduct preoperative examinations on pregnant women, such as routine blood tests, urine tests, B-ultrasound, electrocardiograms, routine leucorrhea tests, etc. Through these examinations, we can know whether the patient has systemic diseases, whether it is an ectopic pregnancy, whether there is gynecological inflammation, and can accurately determine the size and position of the gestational sac, thereby increasing the safety of the operation.

The time for abortion is 35-50 days after the pregnancy is confirmed. Before the abortion, the doctor must confirm the intrauterine pregnancy through HCG and B-ultrasound diagnosis, and determine that the number of days of conception and the size of the gestational sac are suitable for painless abortion.

Generally, after more than 35 days of pregnancy, the gestational sac in the uterine cavity can be clearly seen under B-ultrasound. At this time, the gestational sac is not large and the uterine wall is thicker, so the gestational sac is easy to remove. The doctor can use hysteroscopic visual technology to suck out the gestational sac. Relatively speaking, it causes little harm to the body, has low surgical risks, and allows for quick recovery. Since the operation is less difficult, the cost of the operation will also be reduced accordingly.

Patients who are pregnant for more than 70 days should also go to the hospital for examination in time. Because of different personal physical conditions, the development speed and size of the gestational sac will also vary. If the gestational sac has not exceeded the safe abortion range, women can also choose to have an abortion.

At 10-14 weeks of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually grows, the placenta has been formed, and the uterus also grows, artificial abortion can be performed on those who wish to interrupt the pregnancy due to contraceptive failure or those who are not suitable to continue the pregnancy due to various diseases. However, in the following situations, artificial abortion is temporarily not advisable.

(1) Patients who are unable to undergo surgery due to various acute infectious diseases or acute attacks of chronic infectious diseases, or severe systemic diseases (such as heart failure, obvious hypertension, tuberculosis with high fever, and severe anemia).

(2) Acute inflammation of the reproductive organs, such as vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc.

(3) Acidosis caused by severe vomiting during pregnancy has not been corrected.

(4) Body temperature is above 37.5℃ twice within 4 hours before surgery.

Generally speaking, if you want to have an abortion, you should go to the hospital for a check-up in advance. Only when the doctor is sure that you can have an abortion, can you do it. The earlier the operation is done, the better. If the fetus is larger, the harm to the female body will be greater. Therefore, it is very necessary to take protective measures in normal times. In addition, abortion should not be performed frequently, otherwise it may cause infertility.
