How long after pregnancy is it safer to have an abortion

Abortion surgery has certain health risks, and the time of abortion should be carefully chosen before the operation. So, how long after pregnancy should an abortion be performed to minimize this risk?

When you have confirmed your pregnancy and choose to have an abortion, you must go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time to see the size of the gestational sac, determine the appropriate time for surgery, and exclude the possibility of various unexpected conditions such as ectopic pregnancy based on the location of the gestational sac to increase the safety of the abortion. Generally speaking, an abortion can be performed if the gestational sac is larger than 5 mm, but due to individual differences among pregnant women, the exact time should be determined based on the size of the gestational sac.

Under normal circumstances, it is relatively safe to have an abortion 35 to 50 days after pregnancy, and the recovery time of the female body is also shorter. Because the fetus has not yet formed at this stage, the uterus is not too large, the muscles of the uterine wall are relatively thick, the embryo is easily sucked out, and the amount of bleeding during the operation is also less. It will have a certain impact on the female's health if it is done earlier or later than this time.

If the abortion is performed after 50 days of pregnancy, the operation will be relatively complicated, the recovery time for women will be longer, and the damage to the body will be greater; if the abortion is performed before 35 days of pregnancy, because the embryo has just begun to develop and is small in shape, it is easy to have empty suction or missed suction during the operation, resulting in various adverse consequences such as incomplete abortion, and another uterine curettage operation will be required, which will cause certain damage to the woman's body.
