When two people are not yet fully prepared to welcome a child and suddenly find themselves expecting, then abortion becomes a remedial measure.
However, even today, many people wear colored glasses when viewing women who have undergone an abortion.
Women who have had abortions often feel that it is a shameful matter, fearing that their boyfriend/husband will find out, and even conceal their abortion history during medical visits.
Some also ask doctors whether it is possible to check for a past abortion.
So, does an abortion leave any traces? Let’s first understand what an abortion is.
An abortion is not just a surgery.
An abortion refers to terminating a pregnancy due to unexpected pregnancies, illnesses, or other reasons using artificial methods. It includes surgical abortions and medical abortions.
A medical abortion involves using oral medication to induce abortion, affecting the body’s hormonal balance to cause the uterus to contract and expel the gestational sac, and it is applicable for pregnancies up to 7 weeks. As the weeks of pregnancy increase, the risk of medical abortion failure also rises. Medical abortions have longer bleeding times, are prone to incomplete abortions, and often require a dilation and curettage procedure.
A surgical abortion is a procedure that uses a suction device to remove the embryonic tissue under negative pressure, combined with intravenous anesthesia to terminate the pregnancy.

Can a woman who has had an abortion be “identified”?
Can a boyfriend tell if his girlfriend has had an abortion? Generally speaking, after a medical abortion, there will be no obvious traces left, and as long as you do not mention it, your boyfriend will not notice.
However, it is important to emphasize that women who have experienced an abortion should not hide this from their doctor during gynecological examinations, as it relates to the doctor’s diagnosis, especially when preparing for pregnancy or during the first prenatal checkup. Your “secret” that you don’t want to tell others will also not be disclosed by the doctor.

There are strict time requirements for abortions; if you wait too long, the embryo may develop significantly, the uterus enlarges, and the embryo takes shape, making the procedure more difficult and further increasing potential harm to the woman’s body. Therefore, women who experience unintended pregnancies should not delay!
At the same time, abortion is not solely the woman’s fault, but most of those who cannot let go of this matter are the women themselves. Therefore, it is hoped that women do not self-doubt or feel guilty, and thus undervalue themselves; every individual deserves to be loved.
We also urge all women to practice effective contraception to better protect themselves and their future families; we also ask boyfriends and husbands to empathize with their partners and provide them with more love and care.
