Is it better to have an abortion as early as possible? What are the dangers of having an abortion too early?

It is not good to have an abortion too early. If you do it too early, the embryo is just developing and is still very small, so it is easy to have empty or missed aspiration, resulting in failure of the operation or incomplete abortion. As a result, you have to undergo a uterine curettage, which is another painful experience.

However, the sooner you have an abortion after meeting the indications for an abortion, the better. Generally, it is best to have an abortion 35-50 days after pregnancy. The harm of an abortion at this time is relatively minimal. Because the gestational sac is not large during this period, the doctor can use visual technology to suck out the gestational sac, which causes little harm to the body and has low surgical risks. The female surgeon also recovers quickly, and the cost of the operation will be lower accordingly. Usually, an abortion can be performed within 90 days of pregnancy. However, the longer the pregnancy and the larger the fetus, the greater the difficulty and risk of the abortion, and the corresponding surgical cost will increase. However, it does not mean that the sooner the abortion, the better. For example, it is inappropriate to have an abortion before 35 days of pregnancy. Because the fetus is still too small at this time, it is easy to cause the fetus to be missed.

What are the dangers of premature abortion?

Empty suction, leaking suction

Because the fetus has just developed and is not big, premature artificial abortion is prone to empty suction or missed suction, which will cause operation failure or incomplete abortion. In this case, a second uterine curettage will be required, which will bring more pain to the patient and cause secondary damage.

Easy to misdiagnose

If the pregnancy is too short, the changes in the uterus are not very obvious. If the urine or B-ultrasound is used to diagnose pregnancy, the positive rate is highest 40 days after the menstrual period. Therefore, judging early pregnancy too early can easily lead to misdiagnosis.

Emotions affect misdiagnosis of early pregnancy

Early abortion is not a good idea. Nowadays, many women have high stress in life and irregular menstrual cycles, which are easily affected by the external environment. As a result, menstruation may be delayed by 40 days or so, which is more likely to be misdiagnosed as early pregnancy. Therefore, early abortion is not recommended.
