What medical examinations are required for an abortion?
I've become pregnant unintentionally and do not plan to keep the baby. I'd like to ask, what examinations are required before having an abortion?

Abortion refers to induced abortion. The general examinations required for induced abortion include gynecological examination, two-dimensional ultrasound examination, blood tests, and electrocardiogram (ECG) examination.
Gynecological examination is fundamental and includes internal gynecological examination and vaginal discharge testing to rule out inflammation or infection. Two-dimensional ultrasound is essential for confirming the pregnancy status, determining the location and size of the embryo, and assessing suitability for surgery. This ultrasound primarily clarifies the position and size of the gestational sac, estimates the gestational age, and ensures the gestational sac measures approximately 1–3 cm and is located within the uterus.
Routine blood tests, such as complete blood count, urinalysis, liver function tests, and kidney function tests, are also necessary to evaluate the patient's overall health status. ECG and four-item immunological tests are important as well, used to assess cardiac function and immune system status.
These examinations help doctors comprehensively understand the patient's physical condition, formulate individualized treatment plans, and ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgical procedure. Throughout the process, doctors will provide necessary psychological support and postoperative guidance.
