What tests should patients undergo before abortion?

Women who have an unexpected pregnancy usually end their pregnancy by having an abortion. To ensure the personal safety of women, relevant examinations should be carried out before the operation to clarify the patient's physical condition and facilitate the smooth progress of the abortion operation.

1. Early pregnancy test (HCG)

Starting from the 7th day of pregnancy, a specific hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), can be measured in the pregnant woman's urine. This is also the test that is often done in hospitals. Women can only use test strips at home as a reference, and the hospital's test results should be taken as the standard.

2. Ultrasound examination

B-ultrasound is a commonly performed examination that can clearly observe the gestational sac and determine the size of the gestational sac. It can reduce the possibility of incomplete uterine aspiration and improve the safety and success rate of the operation.

3. Routine examination of leucorrhea

The purpose of vaginal discharge examination is to reduce infection and facilitate the smooth progress of the operation. Routine vaginal discharge examination can determine whether there are trichomonas and fungi in the vagina. If necessary, chlamydia, mycoplasma, and gonococcus should be checked. Once found, anti-infection and anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out before abortion. Otherwise, the infection will be aggravated and affect the embryonic development in the next pregnancy, inducing miscarriage.

4. Blood test

The main thing is to check the blood routine to see if there are other inflammations. In addition, it is also necessary to check the four coagulation tests and liver function.
