It is best to have an artificial abortion within 10 weeks

There are two types of artificial abortion surgery: suction uterus (negative pressure 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. Within 10 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is not too large, and the fetus and placenta have not yet formed. It is easy to suck out the fetal mass tissue. The reaction during the operation is small, the bleeding is small, the operation time is short, and you can go home after resting for 1 to 2 hours after the operation. The recovery is also fast, and it has little effect on the body. Suction uterus can usually be performed in an outpatient clinic. After the pregnant woman has taken the appropriate position, the doctor will wash the patient's vulva and vagina with soapy water and disinfect them with disinfectant. Then use a cervical dilator to dilate the cervix from small to large. When the cervix is ​​dilated to the point where the suction tube can be inserted, the artificial abortion suction device at the other end of the suction tube can work. The suction tube moves in the uterine cavity and can suck out the fetal sac when it encounters it, and the operation can be ended. About 10 days after the operation, vaginal bleeding stops.

At 10 to 14 weeks of pregnancy, as the embryo gradually grows, the placenta has been formed, and the uterus also grows, it is not appropriate to use simple suction abortion at this time, but it is necessary to use forceps curettage abortion, which requires hospitalization for surgery. This operation is difficult, bleeding is heavy, and recovery is relatively slow, which has a certain impact on the body. The operation process is similar to suction abortion, except that the cervix needs to be dilated a little more. Generally, prostaglandins are placed in the vagina before the operation to soften the cervix and facilitate the dilation of the cervix during the operation. During the operation, the fetal membrane must be broken first to let the amniotic fluid flow out, and then the placenta and fetus are sucked out together.

Therefore, pregnant women who need artificial abortion should try to undergo vacuum aspiration surgery within 10 weeks of pregnancy to reduce the pain of the abortion.
