Introduction
In general, an artificial abortion is a procedure that terminates pregnancy manually. It is recommended to undergo the procedure at a正规 hospital under the guidance of a qualified physician. The specific steps are as follows:
1. The patient assumes the lithotomy position, receives anesthesia, and the vulva and vagina are disinfected.
2. After the anesthesia takes effect, a cervical dilator is used to probe the uterine cavity to assess the size of the uterus and determine whether it corresponds with the gestational age reported by ultrasound.

1. Position the patient in the lithotomy position, administer anesthesia, and disinfect the external genitalia and vagina.
2. After the anesthesia takes effect, use a cervical dilator to probe the uterine cavity and assess the size of the uterus to confirm whether it corresponds with the gestational age reported by ultrasound.
3. Use the cervical dilator to dilate the cervix sufficiently to allow insertion of the suction cannula.
4. Use the suction cannula to remove the entire embryo, followed by curettage (scraping of the uterine lining).
5. Disinfect the vaginal area again and check for any bleeding.
6. Dry the patient's genital area, help her dress, and complete the procedure.
