Can I have an abortion after I just found out I'm pregnant?

There are always some unexpected things happening in life. An unexpected pregnancy is something that catches people off guard. When an unexpected pregnancy occurs, many people have different attitudes towards this matter. Some people often choose to terminate the pregnancy. There are currently many different methods for terminating pregnancy. You must choose a method that is more suitable for you based on your physical condition and under the advice of a doctor.

Can I have an abortion after I just found out I'm pregnant?

1. The best time for abortion is generally before 9 weeks of pregnancy. However, to finally determine how long into the pregnancy you can have an abortion, you also need to refer to some preoperative examination results. However, if the embryo is too large, or even has grown bones, it cannot be sucked out with the largest straw. In this case, you can only be hospitalized and induce labor with drugs or water bags, and then have the uterus cleaned after the embryo and most of the placenta are expelled.

2. If induction of labor fails, curettage is needed, which is to use an instrument to directly scrape the embryo and placenta out of the uterus. This operation is risky and can easily cause cervical injury and increased bleeding during the operation. It also increases the risk of infection, uterine injury, and postoperative intrauterine adhesions. Therefore, if you plan to terminate an unexpected pregnancy, try to do it within 2 months of pregnancy.

3. Will it be painful to have an abortion when you just get pregnant? You can have a medical abortion when you just get pregnant. The pain will be the same as menstruation and it is bearable. If you think you should have an abortion, it is better to do it early, because when you are late in pregnancy, you will have to undergo a surgical abortion, which will cause several times more harm to your body than medical abortion.

How long does it take to get pregnant after medical abortion?

1. Generally speaking, the most worrying thing about medical abortion is that it cannot guarantee the success of abortion. If it exceeds 49 days, medical abortion is not recommended because of the concern that it may lead to heavy bleeding, residual infection and many other abortion sequelae. If the medical abortion is incomplete, further uterine curettage surgery will be required, which is equivalent to secondary damage to the body.

2. Medical abortion works differently on different people. 70%-80% of people can have a clean abortion, but about 20% of people have an incomplete abortion and need a curettage. In addition, medical abortion can also cause irregular menstruation in the later period; medical abortion causes prolonged bleeding, increases the chance of infection, and may even cause endometriosis, a terminal disease for fertility.

The following situations are not suitable for medical abortion:

Pregnant women with diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, heart failure, hypertension, glaucoma, liver and kidney dysfunction, ectopic pregnancy, ulcerative colitis, adrenal insufficiency, long-term use of glucocorticoids, and insulin-dependent diabetes are strictly prohibited from using medical abortion.
