Choose the best time to have an artificial abortion

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; in addition, the fertilized egg needs to implant in the uterus through the fallopian tube, and if the embryo fails to implant, it can also cause empty aspiration; on the contrary, if the pregnancy is too late, the operation will be complicated and the recovery time after the operation will be slow.

Commonly used early abortion procedures include suction uterine extraction (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; the fetus and placenta have not yet formed, so there is generally no need to dilate the cervix, and it is easy to suck out the fetal mass tissue; the reaction during the operation is mild, there is little bleeding, the operation time is short, and you can go home after resting for 1-2 hours after the operation. The recovery is also fast, and the impact on the body is small. At 10-14 weeks of pregnancy, because the embryo gradually grows, the placenta has been formed, and the uterus has also grown, it is not appropriate to use simple suction abortion at this time, but to use forceps curettage abortion.

The operation is difficult, bleeding is heavy, and recovery is slow, which has a certain impact on the body. If the pregnancy exceeds 14 weeks, the above two types of artificial abortion cannot be performed, and hospitalization for induced abortion is required, which increases the pain of the pregnant woman and the risk of the operation.

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.
