When women fail contraception, they usually choose to undergo abortion surgery, and it is better to have the surgery before 10 weeks to reduce the damage to the body. However, some women are not familiar with abortion and may have some concerns about the first surgery. So, how long does it usually take for abortion?
Generally, abortion takes about four to five hours. Before the surgery, women need to undergo a detailed physical examination, which takes about 1-2 hours, including urine test, B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and routine vaginal discharge test. Through the examination, it is clear whether the woman is pregnant, and abnormal pregnancy such as ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out. It is also possible to determine the location of the gestational sac on the woman's body and increase the safety of the surgery. If the woman suffers from certain diseases, treatment needs to be carried out first.
If there are no problems with the examination, women can undergo abortion surgery, which takes 3-5 minutes. During the surgery, the doctor will disinfect the external genitalia, and if some women are afraid of pain, they can choose to inject anesthetics, which will put them in an anesthetic state. They can wait for the instrument to suck out the gestational sac before they can proceed.
After the surgery, women should actively undergo anti-inflammatory treatment, which takes about an hour. Women should closely observe their own condition. If there are no abnormal conditions, they can go home for rest after anti-inflammatory treatment. Each woman's physical condition varies, so the specific surgery time may also change.
