Can a 17-year-old girl get an abortion?

Many scholars believe that sexual needs, like the needs for eating and sleeping, are normal needs of the human body. As people's material needs are fully met, many children have shown signs of precocious puberty. Many adolescent boys find it difficult to resist their physical desires and have engaged in sexual activity at an early age. The age of women experiencing miscarriages is also getting younger. So when a 17-year-old girl gets pregnant, can she choose medical abortion?

In today's society, more and more people are having abortions, and the age of abortion is getting younger and younger. Hospitals of all sizes are advertising various abortion services, and small clinics often start performing such operations without the ability to perform local abortions in order to make a profit. Young girls who are embarrassed or do not want others to know that they are pregnant go to such small clinics for abortions, which often leads to heavy bleeding or death. The main reason is that children nowadays have a weak sense of self-protection and may regard abortion as a method of contraception.

Steps/Methods:

1 Generally speaking, the most common abortions in our lives are medical abortion and curettage. Relatively speaking, medical abortion is less harmful to the uterus, because curettage is to scrape off a layer of the uterine wall. The more times you do it, the thinner the uterine wall is. It is also difficult to get pregnant afterwards. Even if you get pregnant, it is easier to have a miscarriage. It is the most harmful to the uterus.

2 Then this patient is seventeen years old, and she had an abortion through medicine, so damage to the uterus is inevitable. It is best to take contraceptive measures and not to use abortion as a contraceptive measure, because no matter whether you use medicine or curettage, it is not good for your own body. It will be difficult to conceive again after too many times, so you must pay attention to protecting yourself.

3 In addition to these, you should pay attention to vaginal bleeding after medical abortion or curettage. Generally, vaginal bleeding lasts for 1 to 3 weeks for medical abortion, and gradually decreases. The amount of bleeding does not exceed the menstrual volume. If the amount of bleeding does not decrease after 1 week, you need to see a doctor immediately. You may have failed to dry up your menstrual period due to medical abortion.

Precautions

Pay attention to whether the vaginal secretions have any peculiar smell, pay attention to the amount of vaginal bleeding, keep the vulva clean, wipe the vulva with warm water one or twice, pay attention to supplementing nutrition and eating a reasonable diet, pay attention to rest, and appropriate activities, which will help the discharge of lochia.
