Introduction
Abortion usually refers to induced abortion. At four months of pregnancy, if there are no other physical discomforts and after evaluation by a doctor, induced abortion may be performed. However, if the pregnant woman has other health complications, induced abortion is generally not recommended. Induced abortion may typically be considered if there are serious risks to fetal health, such as severe genetic disorders or fetal malformations, or if continuing the pregnancy would seriously endanger the pregnant woman's life.

Termination of pregnancy usually refers to induced abortion. Generally, at four months of pregnancy, if there are no other health complications and after evaluation by a physician, induced abortion may be performed; however, if the pregnant woman has other medical issues, induced abortion is not recommended. The reasoning is as follows:

If there is a serious risk to fetal health—such as severe genetic disorders or congenital abnormalities in the fetus—or if continuing the pregnancy would seriously endanger the pregnant woman's life, termination of pregnancy may be advised by the doctor, provided the woman has no other health complications. In such cases, induced abortion is generally an option.

If the pregnant woman suffers from serious medical conditions, such as severe systemic diseases or genital tract infections, induced abortion may not be suitable. Induced abortion carries certain risks, including potential damage to the reproductive system or complications like infection. If the woman’s physical condition is poor or other risk factors exist, doctors may recommend against induced abortion or suggest alternative, safer approaches.

After the procedure, it is important to replenish nutrients to support recovery. Consuming nutritious foods such as eggs and pork ribs appropriately can aid in physical recovery.
