1. What is induced abortion
Induced labor, also known as labor guidance, refers to the use of artificial methods to induce childbirth in a mother. It is between 12-24 weeks of pregnancy, and due to maternal or fetal reasons, it is necessary to induce uterine contractions through artificial methods to remove the developed but not yet mature embryo and placenta from the uterus, in order to end the pregnancy. This is called induced abortion surgery.
2. Preoperative examination
The pre abortion examinations generally include urine tests, B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram, routine vaginal discharge, and so on. Through the above examination, it is possible to determine whether the induced abortion woman has an intrauterine pregnancy, assess vaginal cleanliness, examine the size of the uterus, and assess tolerance to anesthesia.
3. Induced abortion process
The induced abortion woman enters the surgical preparation room, takes off her shirt, and enters the operating room, lying on the operating table with her legs apart and fixed on a bracket; Then, using a puncture needle, 100 milligrams of medication is injected through the abdominal wall of the mother's body into the sheep placenta, which can trigger contractions within 36 hours to expel the fetus. After the fetus is expelled, a curettage surgery is required. The process of curettage can be performed by injecting anesthetics or by painless abortion. The duration of the entire surgery needs to be determined based on the gestational month, gestational sac size, and personal constitution of the induced abortion woman.
4. Postoperative care
After undergoing induced abortion surgery, women should consume sufficient nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and inorganic salts, pay attention to hygiene, and rest more; After undergoing induced abortion surgery, women need to wait until the uterus has fully recovered before they can have sex.
