The process of induced labor over four months

Abortion surgery is mainly performed on women in the first three months of pregnancy. If a woman is pregnant for more than three months and wants to have an abortion, she cannot undergo abortion because the success rate is very low at this time. She can only undergo induced labor. Compared with abortion, the operation process of induced abortion is more complicated and causes greater damage to the female uterus. So what is the operation process of induced abortion in the fourth month of pregnancy?

4-month induction process

The patient enters the surgical preparation room, takes off his clothes (completely naked) and puts on surgical gown (prepared for the patient), enters the operating room and lies on the operating table with his legs spread apart and fixed on a bracket. The medicine is injected into the amniotic cavity through the mother's abdominal wall with a puncture needle. About 36 hours later, uterine contractions are initiated to expel the fetus.

Then the uterus will be cleaned up. The operation time will be determined according to your pregnancy month, gestational sac size, personal constitution, etc. You can consult the surgeon for the specific induction method that is suitable for you.

The dangers of induced abortion at 4 months

The most common risk of inducing labor for a fetus at four months is that after the fetus is expelled from the uterus, the surgical "uterine cleaning" is prone to infection. This can still happen even if the doctor is experienced, disinfection is strict and the process goes smoothly. During the uterine cleaning, instruments and even the doctor's hands will enter the vagina and uterus. In addition, bleeding for several days after delivery will increase the chance of infection, such as vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women who want to end their pregnancy should undergo surgery in the early stages, or choose a regular hospital for surgery.

In addition, excessive uterine cleaning will affect the chance of pregnancy in the future, and "improper" uterine cleaning will cause continuous bleeding or even heavy bleeding. Rare cases include abortion pills causing liver damage and severe bleeding during and after delivery. If the fetus is extremely stubborn or insensitive to medication and cannot be aborted, there is also the risk of uterine perforation during uterine curettage.

I believe that after reading this article, all female friends will be able to clearly understand the relevant process of induced abortion when pregnant for 4 months, and everyone should pay attention to it. At 4 months, the fetus has grown relatively fully. There are certain risks in inducing labor at this time. Pregnant friends must understand this clearly.
