With the advancement of medicine, unintended pregnancy is no longer a problem for female friends. Abortion is also the only choice to end pregnancy. Abortion can be divided into medication abortion, direct curettage surgery, and painless abortion. Depending on the time of pregnancy and personal choice, different methods will be used for abortion. So, what size of embryo is suitable for abortion?
Firstly, medical abortion can be performed if it is confirmed to be a normal intrauterine pregnancy after examination between 40 and 49 days of pregnancy. According to the doctor's advice, the gestational sac will be expelled within 6 to 8 hours after taking the medication, and there may be intermittent abdominal pain during the process. Three days later, I need to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound to confirm if there are any residues in the uterus. If there are, I also need to undergo another curettage treatment.
Most women choose painless abortion, which may be more expensive than direct curettage, but the body will not feel any pain and the pregnancy will end unconsciously. The best period for painless abortion is from 40 to 70 days of pregnancy. At this time, the gestational sac should not exceed 2 centimeters and can be directly suctioned out with a straw. Generally, it can be cleaned up in one go without the need for another curettage.
If it exceeds three months and the fetus is about to take shape, induction of labor can only be performed. Induced labor not only causes unbearable pain but also increases the risk to pregnant women. Regardless of the type of miscarriage, it can cause varying degrees of harm to women's bodies. Therefore, it is important to remind women to handle unexpected pregnancies early to avoid increasing damage to their bodies.
