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

For women who have an unexpected pregnancy, they may need to undergo an abortion. It does not mean that the earlier the abortion is done, the better. There needs to be an optimal time to avoid causing physical harm to women. Generally speaking, the best time for an abortion is between the 38th and 43rd days. This is the best time. Too early or too late is not good. In addition, abortion cannot be performed after more than 14 weeks of pregnancy.

First of all, it doesn't matter how long you have to wait before you can have an abortion. The earlier the better. Generally speaking, the best time for an abortion is 38-43 days. It is not good to do it too early or too late. Generally, if a woman is diagnosed with pregnancy within 10 weeks of amenorrhea, it is appropriate to have an abortion without endotracheal intubation. The success rate of the operation is high, the bleeding is not much, and the pain is relatively mild. On the contrary, abortion surgery is complicated and the recovery time after surgery is long. Therefore, the earlier the abortion is performed, the better it is. Instead, it is best to perform it within 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Why is it best to have an abortion within 10 weeks of pregnancy?

Within 10 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is not too large; the fetus and fetal mass have not yet formed, so there is generally no need to dilate the cervix and the fetal mass tissue can be easily sucked out; the reaction during the operation is mild; there is little bleeding, the operation time is short, and you can go home after resting for 1-2 hours after the operation. Recovery is also fast, and the impact on the body is small.

During the 10th to 14th week of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually grows, the fetus has been formed, and the uterus also grows, it is not appropriate to use simple suction uterine abortion at this time, but platinum curettage is needed. The operation is difficult, involves a lot of bleeding, and has a relatively slow recovery, which has a certain impact on the body.

Can I still have an abortion if I am more than 14 weeks pregnant?

If the pregnancy exceeds 14 weeks, the above two types of abortion surgery cannot be performed, and hospitalization for induced labor is required, which increases the pain of the pregnant woman and the risk of the operation. Therefore, pregnant women who need abortion should try to have it within 38-43 days. If time is really tight, try to have it within 10 weeks of pregnancy to reduce the pain of miscarriage.
