Is it painful to have an induced abortion at three or four months?

Generally speaking, if there is no plan to get pregnant, or if some problems with the baby's development are found, induced abortion is required. The risks of induced abortion will only increase as the duration of the pregnancy increases. Although painless abortion surgery is now available, the harm it causes to women is self-evident. So, is the whole process of induced abortion at four months painful?

Induced abortion means that after 12 weeks of pregnancy, due to reasons related to the mother or the fetus, artificial labor is used to induce uterine contractions and terminate the pregnancy. The further along the pregnancy is, the greater the risk of induced abortion. Therefore, the sooner the pregnancy is completed, the better. Generally, 12 weeks to 24 weeks are considered mid-term induced labor. An induced labor at four months of pregnancy is considered mid-term induced labor. The fetus has already been born at this time. Some people say that induced labor is equivalent to a labor process, except that the fetus is smaller than childbirth. Therefore, it is impossible to perform an abortion without pain and harm.

The characteristics of this period are that the embryo has been formed, the fetus is large, the bones are hard, and the cervix needs to be fully dilated during delivery. In addition, as the uterus enlarges and the endometrium becomes loose, it is very easy to damage the endometrium during surgery. Therefore, mid-term abortion is more difficult and has more complications than early abortion, so early abortion should be performed as much as possible. Some people say that nowadays medicine is more advanced and painless abortion is possible, so it is not that painful. In fact, the so-called painless induced abortion is just the anesthesia you are given after you accompany the baby to expel the fetus. It will not hurt during the abortion, but before the abortion, you will feel pain within 24 to 48 hours after the injection, and it will be very painful, but it will not hurt during the abortion. In addition, induced abortion can also cause a lot of damage to women's bodies.

The above is a detailed introduction to whether the process of induced abortion in four months is painful. In short, there are always some unavoidable reasons. The fetus in the belly cannot be kept. If it is not needed when it is four months old, an induced abortion is the only option. However, induced abortion is harmful to the human body. What we need to do is to recuperate well after induced abortion.
