How long does it take to have an abortion during pregnancy?

Abortion is becoming more and more common in today's life, but it is very harmful to the female body and even directly affects the fertility in the future. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand the best time to have an abortion and how long after pregnancy you can have an abortion. 45 days after pregnancy is the best time for a painless abortion. Painless abortion can be done when the gestational sac is larger than 5 mm, but it will also vary according to individual physical conditions.

1. The best time for abortion

You should know that the earlier you have an abortion, the better it is. If you don’t choose the most appropriate time, it may have some bad effects, so you must choose carefully.

How do you calculate the best time for abortion? The best time for abortion should be calculated like this: In fact, to know how long you should wait before you can have an abortion, you must first understand how to calculate the pregnancy time. The pregnancy time is calculated based on the day the last menstruation began. For example, if your last menstrual period was on July 20 and today is August 31, then the pregnancy time is 42 days.

Generally speaking, the best time for painless abortion is about 45 days after pregnancy. When pregnancy has been confirmed, if you choose to have an abortion, you must undergo a gynecological examination before the abortion. A gynecological examination can not only clearly see the size of the gestational sac and determine when surgery is possible, but also determine whether it is a normal pregnancy based on the location of the gestational sac and rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, which is of great significance to the safety of the abortion surgery. Generally speaking, pre-abortion examination is convenient and quick.

2. How long does it take to have an abortion during pregnancy?

How long does it take to have an abortion during pregnancy? In fact, painless abortion can be performed if the gestational sac is larger than 5 mm. However, due to individual differences, the specific time for individual abortion should be determined based on the size of the gestational sac.

If you have a painless abortion between 35 and 50 days of pregnancy, the operation will be relatively safe and simple, and the time it takes for the woman's body to recover after the operation will be shorter. Because the fetus has not yet formed at this time, the uterus is not too large, and the muscles of the uterine wall are thicker, the embryo can be easily sucked out. Therefore, the operation time is short, the amount of bleeding is small, and the body recovers faster after abortion.

If this time is exceeded, the surgical procedure will be more complicated and the recovery time after surgery will be longer. For pregnant women, the damage to their bodies is greater.

3. Should abortion be done early or late?

It is not good to have an abortion too early. If you have an abortion too early, because the embryo has just begun to develop and is still very small, it is easy to have empty or missed aspiration, which will cause the failure of the operation, or the abortion will be incomplete. If this happens, you will need to undergo another uterine curettage. Therefore, many women who are eager to solve the "trouble" as soon as they find out they are pregnant might as well listen to the doctor's advice and wait for a week or two before rechecking.

It is also not good to have an abortion too late. If you have an abortion too late, because the pregnancy has been going on for too long and the gestational sac is already large, there will be more bleeding and more damage to the body. If the pregnancy is advanced, the fetal skeleton has been formed, the uterus has become larger, and the uterine wall has become thinner, the operation will be more difficult to perform, and the operation will take a long time, with a large amount of bleeding and a prolonged postoperative recovery time, causing greater pain to women.
