Many women have irregular menstrual cycles in their daily lives, even going several months without menstruation. Due to the fact that menstrual irregularities do not cause significant discomfort to the body, some women may not actively seek treatment, which makes it difficult for women to detect them after pregnancy and increases the risk of unintended pregnancies. Can abortion be performed at six months of pregnancy?
Abortion surgery is more suitable for women with fewer days of pregnancy. The best time for abortion surgery is 45-55 days of pregnancy. After 70 days, abortion cannot be performed. Therefore, abortion is not allowed for those who are six months pregnant. If the pregnancy cannot be terminated at six months, the only option is to induce labor. Induced abortion surgery does not have special requirements for the number of days of pregnancy, and is more suitable for pregnant women with more pregnancy days to choose from.
Induced abortion requires injecting oxytocin first, and then waiting for contractions before the fetus can be slowly delivered. In fact, the process of induced abortion surgery is similar to natural childbirth, and pregnant women need to endure a lot of pain. Moreover, by six months of pregnancy, the fetus has basically developed and is already a living little life. If there are no special reasons, do not induce labor.
If it is necessary to terminate the pregnancy, women should also pay attention to rest and recuperate after the induced abortion surgery. Due to the similarity between induced labor and natural childbirth, postpartum confinement should also be performed like natural childbirth after surgery. During the confinement period, it is important to keep warm, avoid sexual intercourse, and ensure a nutritious diet.
