Best time for abortion

Best time for abortion

1. Artificial abortion refers to artificial abortion, which is divided into medical abortion and surgical abortion. The best time for medical abortion is within 49 days of menopause, and the best time for surgical abortion is generally within 45-50 days of pregnancy.

2. Medical abortion is a process of using drugs to prevent the fetal sac from continuing the pregnancy in the uterine cavity and expelling it from the body. The commonly used drugs now are mifepristone misoprostol. Generally speaking, after a woman becomes pregnant, her body will produce progesterone, which is a very necessary hormone to maintain pregnancy. The mifepristone in medical abortion drugs binds to the progesterone receptors in the body and reduces the activity of progesterone produced by pregnant women. Once the body lacks progesterone, it will lead to the death of the embryo. The misoprostol in medical abortion drugs promotes strong contraction of the uterus and expel the products of pregnancy. The complete medical abortion process requires taking two drugs.

3. Surgical abortion uses a negative pressure suction device to use the powerful suction of the machine to suck the fetus out of the uterine cavity. Surgical abortion is suitable for pregnant women who voluntarily request to terminate pregnancy or women who are not suitable for continuing pregnancy due to certain diseases, including genetic diseases. At this time, the uterus is not too large, the fetus and placenta have not yet formed, and the cervix does not generally need to be dilated, and it is easy to suck out the fetal mass tissue. Moreover, the surgical reaction is mild, the bleeding is less, and the female body recovers quickly after the operation, which has little impact on the body. If an artificial abortion is performed at 10 to 14 weeks of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually grows, the placenta has been formed, and the uterus also grows accordingly. At this time, a simple suction operation should not be used, but a forceps scraping operation should be used. The operation is difficult, bleeding is heavy, and recovery is slow, which has a certain impact on the body. If hospitalization for induced labor is required for more than 14 weeks of pregnancy, this operation will increase the pain of the pregnant woman and the risk of surgery.
