There are many women who are troubled by unexpected pregnancies, and some of them will continue to conceive after careful consideration. Most women do not plan to have children temporarily and will end their pregnancy through abortion. The timing of abortion should be well controlled. Inappropriate abortion time can affect the effect. So, how early can abortion be done?
Abortion refers to the artificial termination of pregnancy, which is divided into surgical abortion and medical abortion. Different methods of abortion have different time requirements. Abortion surgery is the most commonly used method, and the best time for surgery is between 45-55 days of pregnancy. Women who are over 10 weeks pregnant are no longer suitable for abortion surgery, and the surgery time should not be too early. The earliest should not be earlier than 45 days pregnant, otherwise there may be leakage.
Medical abortion refers to the termination of pregnancy through the action of medication. Medical abortion is suitable for women in early pregnancy who have been pregnant for less than 49 days. If there are no contraindications, medical abortion can be used to terminate pregnancy. Medical abortion can be performed earlier and medication can be administered after 6 weeks of pregnancy.
Both medical abortion and abortion surgery can cause harm to women's physical health. The difference between the two methods is that the former does not require surgery and can reduce iatrogenic harm caused by surgery, but may result in incomplete abortion. The latter can basically solve the problem in one go, but the damage caused to the uterus during the surgical process is greater.
