When is the best time to have an abortion?

For unexpected pregnancy, most female friends will deal with it through artificial abortion. When performing an abortion, it is best to choose the best time to do it. This can relatively minimize the damage caused to the female body and facilitate recovery after the operation. After the abortion, special attention should be paid to your lifestyle and diet.

Generally, painless abortion can be performed if the gestational sac is larger than 5 mm. However, due to individual differences, the specific time for individual abortion should be determined based on the size of the gestational sac.

If you have a painless abortion between 35 and 50 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 pregnant women, the damage to their bodies is greater.

In addition, some people choose simple medical abortion. However, although medical abortion is convenient and simple, it has a certain time limit. When the gestational sac grows to a certain extent, simple medical abortion cannot be performed. Even if it grows rapidly, it may not be possible to have an abortion after the time is exceeded. The only way to make up for the negligence of unexpected pregnancy is to induce labor.

The best time for medical abortion is generally within 49 days of pregnancy. If it exceeds this time, it is better to adopt other abortion methods. Because medical abortion itself is worse than surgical abortion and has many limitations. At this time, the gestational sac is not very large, and the risk of medical abortion is relatively low.

However, even if you do it at the best time for medical abortion, there is no guarantee that it will be 100% successful. Generally, the success rate of medical abortion is only 75%. If a woman secretly performs a medical abortion at home without the guidance of a doctor, the 75% success rate will be greatly reduced.

Things to note after abortion

1. Rest well for 2 hours after the operation. Do not get up immediately and rest in bed in the hospital. Observe uterine contractions and vaginal bleeding. If there is any abnormality, please ask a doctor to check and treat it in time.

2. Strengthen contraceptive measures.

It is not advisable to get pregnant again after a miscarriage. You should adopt appropriate contraceptive methods or sterilization measures under the guidance of a doctor to prevent pregnancy again. Do not neglect daily contraception and have frequent artificial abortions, because repeated artificial abortions will increase the chances of contracting gynecological diseases and seriously damage your health.

3. Pay attention to personal hygiene

After having an abortion, a woman's body will become particularly weak. At this time, she is particularly prone to certain diseases when exposed to certain infections or viruses. In fact, it is best to pay attention to personal hygiene and try to avoid taking a bath. You should not have sexual intercourse for about one month after the abortion.
