Therefore, the operation time is short, the amount of bleeding is small, and the body recovers faster after abortion. Generally speaking, medical abortion is suitable for healthy women who are within 5 to 7 weeks of pregnancy (pregnancy time less than 49 days), have confirmed intrauterine pregnancy, have not received glucocorticoid treatment in the past 3 months, are under 40 years old and voluntarily request to end the pregnancy.

How long does it take to have an abortion? The best time for an abortion is generally before 9 weeks of pregnancy. However, to finally determine how long you can have an abortion, you also have 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. 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.
