When is the best time to have an abortion?

With the improvement of living standards, there are more and more methods of family planning. Of course, some friends may still fail and become pregnant. At this time, when our living environment or other reasons do not allow us to have children, we need to have an abortion. However, abortion surgery is also time-limited. Abortion surgery cannot be performed at all times. So when is the best time to have an abortion? Let’s take a look together below!

1. The best time to have an abortion is between 35 and 50 days of pregnancy. Because the embryo has not yet formed at this time, the uterus is not large, and the muscles of the uterine wall are relatively thick, the embryo can be easily sucked out. Therefore, the time is short, the bleeding is less, and the recovery after abortion is relatively fast, so the operation is relatively safe.

2. The best time to have an abortion is not the earlier the better. If the abortion is performed too early, that is, within 35 days, the embryo has just developed and the gestational sac is still small, so it is easy for air aspiration to occur, which will cause the operation to fail, or the abortion will be incomplete, and another uterine curettage will be required.

3. The best time to have an abortion is not the later the better. If the abortion is performed too late, that is, after 50 days, the pregnancy has been going on for too long, the gestational sac is larger, the uterus is larger, and the uterine wall is thinner, making the operation difficult. In addition, the operation will take a long time, cause more bleeding, and prolong recovery after surgery, which will cause greater damage to the female body. If the pregnancy has lasted for more than 10 weeks, abortion is not an option and induced labor is the only option. The operation is difficult, risky, involves heavy bleeding, slow recovery, and is extremely harmful to the body.

4. Take a shower and change into clean underwear the night before the abortion; wear loose clothes that are easy to put on and take off; avoid sexual intercourse within a week before the abortion; if it is a painless abortion, fast and drink water for about six hours before the operation; if the body temperature exceeds 37.5℃, the operation should be postponed to another day; cooperate closely with the doctor during the operation and do not be too nervous; the patient needs to take cervical softening drugs as prescribed by the doctor before the operation.

The above introduces the best time to have an abortion, but it is worth noting that men and women cannot have sex within one month after the abortion, otherwise it will infect the woman's body and the consequences will be very serious. Of course, after a miscarriage, if you feel any physical discomfort, you should go to the hospital and consult a doctor immediately.
