Some female friends may experience unexpected pregnancies when there is no need to conceive, which requires effective measures to terminate the pregnancy. However, such measures should also be taken at a suitable time for pregnancy. So, how can I have an abortion if I'm less than a week pregnant?
1. When a woman is one week pregnant, due to the short duration of the pregnancy, artificial abortion cannot be performed. It can only be performed within 30-50 days of pregnancy. But if it is confirmed that she is pregnant, she still needs to go to the hospital for a more detailed gynecological examination to prepare for induced abortion in advance.
2. Women's pregnancy starts from the first day of their last menstrual period. If the pregnancy period is within 49 days, medication abortion can be chosen. However, compared to artificial abortion, medication abortion may have a higher chance of incomplete abortion, so it should be chosen accordingly. It is best to follow the doctor's guidance and advice for safer and more effective treatment.
3. If choosing to undergo artificial abortion, it should be done within 70 days of pregnancy, and the duration should not be too long. Performing artificial abortion at a later gestational age can cause greater harm to women's health. If artificial abortion is performed too early, it is also prone to leakage and empty suction, which can lead to surgical failure or incomplete abortion. So when undergoing an abortion, it is important to follow the doctor's guidance and advice. It is not recommended to take some abortion drugs at will to avoid unnecessary harm to the body due to accidents.
