At six months of pregnancy, due to various reasons, expectant mothers need to undergo induced abortion surgery. How old has the fetus grown at this point? What should be noted when performing induced abortion surgery at this time? The editor would like to tell everyone that the psychological development of women after induced abortion surgery is very important and cannot be ignored. Let's take a look together below.
Induced abortion surgery is generally divided into mid pregnancy induced abortion and late pregnancy induced abortion. The termination of pregnancy by artificial means at 12-24 weeks of gestation is called mid pregnancy induced abortion surgery. After 28 weeks of gestation, due to maternal or fetal factors, the artificial method of inducing uterine contractions to terminate pregnancy is called late pregnancy induced abortion. Induced abortion can be divided into mid-term induction and late stage induction based on the number of weeks of pregnancy of the induced woman.
Preoperative examination: The preoperative examination for induced abortion generally includes a full body examination, gynecological examination, B-ultrasound, routine vaginal discharge, urine routine, and so on. By examining the various items mentioned above, it is possible to determine whether a woman undergoing induced abortion has an intrauterine pregnancy, assess vaginal cleanliness, examine the size of the uterus, and assess tolerance to anesthesia.
During surgery: 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, which can be performed by injecting anesthetics or using painless induction of labor. 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.
The above is about the age of a six month old baby. Induced abortion is a surgery that has a significant impact on both the body and psychology of women. In addition to paying attention to rest and supplementing nutrition after the surgery, psychological factors also need to be adjusted. Some women are prone to depression due to inability to adjust, which requires careful care from their families to avoid the formation of depression.
