When is the best time for artificial abortion?

Women have more than 20 years in their lives to conceive, so artificial abortion is sometimes unavoidable. Artificial abortion is a remedial measure that will harm women, so you should pay attention to contraception and take good contraceptive measures. The following introduces the best time to have an artificial abortion.

It is not true that the earlier an abortion is performed, the simpler and safer it is.

It is more appropriate to perform artificial abortion within 10 weeks of pregnancy, and the best time is 7-8 weeks. It is not the case that the earlier the artificial abortion is performed, the simpler and safer it is, because if the pregnancy is too early, such as within 6 weeks, the existing common technical conditions may cause missed aspiration, and the fertilized egg needs to implant in the uterus through the fallopian tube. If the embryo does not implant, it may also cause empty aspiration. If the pregnancy is too late, the operation will be complicated and the recovery time after the operation will be slow.

The appropriate period of pregnancy for vacuum aspiration and curettage

Commonly used early abortion surgeries include vacuum aspiration and curettage. Vacuum aspiration is suitable for pregnant women within 10 weeks, while curettage is suitable for pregnant women between 10 and 14 weeks.

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

During the 10th to 14th week of pregnancy, as the embryo grows gradually, the placenta has been formed, and the uterus also grows, it is not appropriate to use simple suction uterine abortion at this time. Instead, forceps curettage is required. This operation is difficult, involves heavy bleeding, and recovery is relatively slow, and it has a certain impact on the body.

If the pregnancy is more than 14 weeks, hospitalization for induction of labor is required

If the pregnancy exceeds 14 weeks, the above two types of artificial abortion cannot be performed, and the patient needs to be hospitalized for induced abortion, which increases the pain of the pregnant woman and the risk of the operation. Therefore, pregnant women who need artificial abortion should try to do vacuum aspiration within 10 weeks of pregnancy to reduce the pain of the abortion.
