When should a woman terminate her pregnancy?

If the mother is not ready to welcome the baby, she will choose artificial termination of pregnancy. When is the best time period for artificial abortion?

If a woman wants to terminate her pregnancy, it is recommended to do it within 10 weeks of pregnancy. This is because the earlier the operation is done, the simpler and safer it is; otherwise, the operation will be more complicated and the recovery time will be longer.

There are two types of early surgeries: vacuum aspiration and curettage. The former is suitable for pregnant women within 10 weeks, and the latter is suitable for pregnant women between 10 and 14 weeks.

If the uterus is not too large and the fetal mass has not yet formed within 10 weeks of pregnancy, there is generally no need to dilate the cervix and the fetal mass tissue can be easily sucked out. The reaction during the operation is mild, there is little bleeding, the operation time is short, and you can go home after resting for 1-2 hours after the operation. Recovery is also fast, and the impact on the body is small.

At 10-14 weeks of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually grows, the fetal entrapment has been formed, and the uterus also grows, it is not suitable to use simple suction abortion, but platinum curettage is needed. This operation is difficult, bleeding is heavy, recovery is relatively slow, and it has a certain impact on the body.

If a female friend is more than 14 weeks pregnant, she cannot undergo the above two procedures and needs to be hospitalized for induced abortion, which increases the pain and risk of the operation.
