Can a five-month pregnancy be terminated?
Disease description:
The fetus is now having developmental problems, and there are no other options but to terminate the pregnancy. Is it possible to abort at five months of pregnancy?
Pregnancy can be terminated at five months. If the fetus is developing normally, it is best not to have an abortion. However, if there are family-related reasons or fetal abnormalities, induced abortion may be performed after five months of pregnancy. However, because the fetus is relatively developed at this stage, induction carries increased risks, including uterine perforation, amniotic fluid embolism, endometrial damage, infection, or severe vaginal bleeding during the procedure, which could lead to shock and endanger the woman's life.
