How many days after pregnancy can you have an abortion?

Women should choose the right time to have an abortion after an unexpected pregnancy to ensure the success rate of the operation. Experts believe that the best time to have an abortion is 5-8 weeks of pregnancy, which is about 35-55 days after the expected date of delivery. At this stage, the embryo in the uterus has not been fully formed, and the endometrial muscle tissue is relatively thick, so the fetal sac is easily sucked out. Abortion is a common method in clinical medicine to stop unwanted pregnancy. At present, painless visual abortion is mostly used. This type of operation takes a relatively short time, and the body recovers relatively quickly after the operation.

However, the best time should be chosen for artificial abortion, otherwise it will affect the effect of the operation and increase the probability of complications. So, how many weeks of pregnancy can an abortion be performed? The answer to this question is introduced to everyone below.

It is generally believed that the sooner a woman has an abortion after an unexpected pregnancy, the less harm to her health. However, experts emphasize that abortion is not suitable if the pregnancy is less than 5 weeks, because the gestational sac is still very small at this time, and its "footprints" may just be detected through B-ultrasound examination. It is very easy to have missed suction and uneven curettage during abortion, which will eventually lead to unsuccessful abortion, leaving women to face the problem of a second curettage.

Therefore, the best time to perform an artificial abortion is 5-8 weeks of pregnancy, which is about 35-55 days after the expected date of delivery. At this stage, the embryo in the uterus has not been fully formed, and the endometrial muscle tissue is relatively thick, and the fetal sac and other tissues are easily sucked out. Relatively speaking, the success rate of surgery is the highest, and the damage to the woman's uterus is the least.

If a woman has missed the best time for an abortion, she should also pay attention to performing the operation as soon as possible within 10 weeks of pregnancy, that is, within 70 days. Once the pregnancy period exceeds 10 weeks, an abortion is no longer suitable, and induced labor is required. Induced labor is not only more difficult, but the woman's physical recovery time after the operation may also be greatly increased, and the amount of abnormal uterine bleeding is also more, and the damage to the physical and mental state is immeasurable. Therefore, women must choose to have an abortion at the best time during their pregnancy.
