Although it is said that having an abortion is no longer a big deal and it is not as painful as before. However, the harm caused by abortion to women still exists, and there is a time limit for abortion surgery. If it is already in the late stage of pregnancy, induced abortion surgery is needed, which can cause significant physical harm to women. Can I have an abortion surgery after 20 days of pregnancy?
The gestational age is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. At the 20th day of pregnancy, the gestational sac is still small and cannot be clearly seen in the uterine cavity, making it difficult to diagnose whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, abortion surgery cannot be performed temporarily. It is recommended to first test for progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin, and then undergo a color ultrasound to confirm intrauterine pregnancy at the 40th day of pregnancy before considering abortion.
After undergoing an abortion, it is important to pay attention to care. However, if you are overworked, you should rest for a period of time to allow your body to recover. We should eat more nutritious foods in our diet. If not properly cared for, it may lead to menstrual disorders, or damage to the endometrium resulting in reduced menstrual flow, and may also cause intrauterine adhesions or even infertility.
Regardless of which abortion method is chosen, it is necessary to undergo it under the guidance of a doctor and pay attention to the timing of the abortion. The hospital chosen for surgery should be a regular tertiary hospital or public hospital. Do not go to small clinics for surgery, otherwise many problems may occur. In addition, if a medical abortion is performed, it must be done within 49 days of pregnancy, and the optimal time for abortion is 35-70 days, with the latest not exceeding 90 days.
