The methods of terminating pregnancy include abortion and induced labor. Some pregnant women may not be able to continue the pregnancy due to certain factors, and therefore need to use these methods to end the pregnancy. But sometimes when the gestational age is too large, there may be certain risks associated with performing such surgery. So, can induced abortion be done at eight months of pregnancy?
Women can undergo induced abortion surgery at eight months of pregnancy, but the prerequisite is that there are medical indications for induced abortion. It must be due to abnormal fetal development at this stage, or if the pregnant woman has serious complications or complications that make it impossible to continue the pregnancy. At this time, a comprehensive evaluation can be conducted after examination, and a complete medical examination certificate must be issued. It must be stamped before it can take effect, and then the induced abortion method can be used to terminate the pregnancy.
The risk of induced abortion surgery for women at 8 months of pregnancy is relatively high, because induced abortion in the first week of pregnancy can easily cause soft birth canal lacerations, uterine rupture, and other dangerous situations such as amniotic fluid embolism during the surgery. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances that require it, it is recommended to continue the pregnancy as much as possible, and it is best not to undergo induced abortion surgery.
In addition, if induced abortion is necessary, postoperative care must be carried out according to medical advice. Patients should rest in bed and increase their diet and nutrition. If there are abnormal bleeding, worsening abdominal pain, or other abnormal conditions during the recovery period, medical examination should be sought as soon as possible.
