Some women get pregnant unexpectedly and do not want the child . They may think about abortion , which means terminating pregnancy by surgery . But people are worried about the effect of abortion and whether it will have a great adverse effect on their health . Now let's understand what the abortion process is like . The first step is to confirm pregnancy . According to the history of amenorrhea, a positive pregnancy test can generally be diagnosed as pregnancy , but trophoblastic diseases such as ectopic pregnancy and hydatidiform mole must be ruled out . When the B -ultrasound shows a gestational sac in the uterus at 45 days after amenorrhea , it can be confirmed as intrauterine pregnancy ; if there is no gestational sac in the uterus but there is one outside the uterus, it can be diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy ; if there is no gestational sac in the uterus but there is a snowflake-like shadow , it can be considered as hydatidiform mole . Only when it is confirmed that it is intrauterine pregnancy can an abortion be performed . Some rural hospitals have simple conditions and no B- ultrasound facilities . At this time, the scrapings must be carefully examined. Only when the embryo or villi are seen in the scrapings can it be confirmed as intrauterine pregnancy . If not , the possibility of ectopic pregnancy must be considered . The second step is the operation period . The embryo is removed from the uterus by surgery or drugs . This is the key step . There are many surgical methods . The most commonly used methods are painless abortion, micro-tube painless abortion and visual painless abortion , which are suitable for early pregnancy within 3 months . Especially for those who are pregnant for 1.5 to 2 months . Painless abortion puts the patient in an anesthetized state , and the operation is over when the patient " wakes up " . Its advantages are : strong visibility . Since the operation is performed under the guidance and monitoring of visual technology , the doctor can see the situation in the uterine cavity at a glance , and can accurately and quickly remove the gestational sac without damaging normal tissues . The operation can be completed safely in a short time . It effectively avoids the occurrence of complications , effectively avoids the occurrence of complications such as uterine perforation, incomplete uterine suction, missed suction, abortion syndrome, etc. caused by tension, fear, restlessness and struggle in traditional abortion , and the operation can be easily completed in a sleeping state . The second is medical abortion . There are two types , one is for early pregnancy and the other is for late pregnancy . For those who are less than 49 days pregnant, the use of medical abortion for early pregnancy may cause heavy bleeding, residual, re-curettage, long time and long bleeding after abortion , so it is not the first choice . Patients with glaucoma and cardiovascular diseases should avoid medical abortion as much as possible . The second is mid-term pregnancy , that is, pregnant women 3-5 months , can use the method of amniotic cavity injection of drugs to make pregnant women produce uterine contractions and expel the fetus . Because sometimes the placenta is not completely expelled , curettage is often required , which should be noted . The third step is the postoperative recovery period . If this period is not handled properly , it can also lead to serious consequences . Although abortion is a " short confinement ", it should be taken care of in the same way as a full-term birth " long confinement " . You should eat nutritious and easily digestible foods such as eggs, milk, ribs, chicken, and fish . It is taboo to wash your hair or bathe with cold water , otherwise the cold water stimulation can induce arthritis , leaving behind pain in the joints and muscles of the cold parts . After surgery, special attention should be paid to hygiene , changing and washing underwear and panties frequently , cleaning the vulva daily , and changing and disinfecting toilet paper frequently . For those with uncompleted bleeding , vaginal irrigation and sitting baths are absolutely prohibited to avoid ascending infection . Sexual intercourse is prohibited within 4 weeks after surgery , and contraception should be adhered to after resuming life . The above is the introduction of the relevant information about the abortion process . I hope it will be helpful for your understanding .
