Many female friends experience contraceptive failure, leading to unintended pregnancies. Since painless abortion is considered a relatively safe method, many women choose this procedure to terminate their unplanned pregnancies more securely. Painless abortions are generally suitable for women within 70 days of pregnancy. Pre-abortion early pregnancy examinations are crucial and indispensable for women with unintended pregnancies. Experts in gynecology from Xi'an abortion hospitals tell us that if women plan to undergo a painless abortion, pre-operative early pregnancy examinations are essential to ensure the safety of the surgery. These examinations are also very useful! So, is it necessary for women to undergo an early pregnancy examination before a painless abortion? The experts in gynecology from Xi'an abortion hospitals provide a detailed explanation:
1. During pregnancy, the vaginal acid-base balance of women can become unbalanced, and immunity may decrease, making it easy to develop gynecological inflammations such as cervical erosion. The uterus, where the fetus develops, connects to the vagina through the cervical canal. If necessary examinations and treatments are not conducted before an abortion, pathogenic bacteria may be directly introduced into the uterine cavity, causing various gynecological inflammations such as adnexal inflammation or salpingitis. Patients may experience high fever and abdominal pain, which in severe cases could even endanger life. Moreover, these conditions can easily lead to fallopian tube blockages, preventing the meeting of egg and sperm for fertilization, ultimately causing infertility.
2. Many women find the numerous gynecological examinations prior to a painless abortion uncomfortable and try to avoid them. However, doing so carries significant risks. Performing an abortion while suffering from gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis, cervicitis, or cervical erosion may result in larger-scale infections, potentially leading to infertility and other serious consequences. Therefore, it's crucial to check for any gynecological inflammations before undergoing an abortion. If present, these should be cured before proceeding with the abortion. In urgent situations, treatment should at least alleviate the inflammation before the operation, followed by thorough treatment after the abortion.
So, what early pregnancy examinations should be done before a painless abortion?
**Early Pregnancy Examination Items:**
1. Starting from the 7th day of pregnancy, a specific hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) can be detected in the urine of pregnant women. Urine pregnancy tests typically check for this hormone. Women who prefer convenience can purchase home pregnancy test strips to test themselves at home, though there is some margin of error, and final confirmation must come from hospital testing.
2. Ultrasound examinations determine whether a gestational sac is visible and assess its size. Ultrasounds are important as they help rule out ectopic pregnancies. If no gestational sac is seen, it might be due to the short duration of pregnancy, and the doctor may ask you to return for a follow-up ultrasound after a few days.
3. Pre-abortion examinations include many tests, among which vaginal discharge routine checks are particularly important. These checks look for the presence of trichomonas or fungi in the vagina. When necessary, additional tests for chlamydia, mycoplasma, and gonococcus may be required. If these microorganisms exist, they can cause ascending infections. Therefore, anti-inflammatory treatments are needed before the abortion to prevent worsening infections that could affect future embryo development during subsequent pregnancies and induce miscarriages.
4. Check for signs of inflammation. If inflammation symptoms are found, further examinations and treatments are necessary. Generally, treatment should precede surgery to prevent ascending infections that could lead to adnexal inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, and various types of vaginitis or cervicitis.
5. Blood routine tests are also essential, primarily checking for other types of inflammation. Any detected inflammations need to be treated beforehand, and then appropriate abortion procedures can be taken based on the situation.
6. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and liver function tests are conducted to facilitate special handling during the operation if necessary.
All these pre-painless-abortion examination items are crucial, each designed to ensure a safer operation and better health for women. Therefore, women should actively cooperate with doctors to complete all necessary examinations.
The above is a detailed introduction about the necessity of early pregnancy examinations before a painless abortion. Women must undergo these early pregnancy examinations before a painless abortion. Early pregnancy examinations must be taken seriously because they play a critical role in ensuring the smooth operation of the surgery. Women should not neglect or avoid these checks due to inconvenience. It is irresponsible to one’s own body not to comply. Always cooperate positively with your doctor.
