Is it better to have an abortion as early as possible?

Abortion also has a certain time range. It cannot be done at any time during pregnancy. You should wait until the pregnancy is more than four or five months to have induced labor instead of abortion. Induced labor is more harmful to the body, so the earlier the abortion, the better, preferably within ten weeks of pregnancy, which can help the body recover.

1. The time of abortion: Abortion too early or too late is bad for your health

Experts point out that the best time to choose an abortion is around 35-50 days after a woman becomes pregnant. During this period, because the placenta has not yet formed, the intraoperative reaction is relatively mild, there is less bleeding, the operation time is short, and the recovery after the operation is also quick.

In addition to being performed at the best time, the pregnancy period must not exceed 70 days. If it exceeds 70 days, an induced abortion will be required.

2. Having an abortion too early is bad for your health

If an abortion is performed too early, it is difficult to detect the gestational sac under ultrasound observation because the embryo is small. If an abortion is performed at this time, suction leakage is likely to occur. If suction or leakage occurs, a second uterine cleaning will be required, which will cause great harm to women, so it is not advisable to have an abortion too early. At the same time, female friends should note that amenorrhea does not necessarily mean pregnancy, which is one of the reasons why premature abortion is not recommended.

3. Doing abortion too late increases the difficulty of the operation

If an abortion is done too late, the operation will be more difficult because the embryo is larger and the uterine wall is thinner. This can easily cause excessive damage to the uterine muscle layer, leading to endometrial regeneration disorders, resulting in symptoms such as irregular menstruation and even infertility. Moreover, if the pregnancy lasts too long, such as more than 70 days, abortion cannot be chosen to terminate the pregnancy. At this time, induced labor is the only option.

The main examination for abortion is B-ultrasound to check the size of the gestational sac and whether there is a malformed mole or ectopic pregnancy. A gynecological examination should be performed to check for inflammation. If there is inflammation, it needs to be treated or controlled first to avoid causing greater inflammation or even infertility due to worsening inflammation.

Abortion surgery cannot be performed during the active period of some infectious diseases. An electrocardiogram is used to check the heart condition. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited for 2-3 days before an abortion to avoid gynecological infection and delay in surgery. Do not drink water or eat anything before a painless abortion. After an abortion, you should pay attention to getting more rest and replenishing your nutrition. Also, try not to have sex for one month.

Warm reminder: If you get pregnant unexpectedly, you must find a regular and professional gynecological hospital for surgery, and you must understand the environment, technology, and doctor conditions clearly. Pre-abortion examination is also a must. However, many small clinics skip these examinations. Women who want to have an abortion should be cautious in choosing a hospital. Although some abortion hospitals are qualified, the abortion technology they use is relatively backward. Although women who have an abortion in such a hospital are not in danger of life, their health will still be greatly harmed.
