Does a Student Need Parental Consent for an Abortion?

Nowadays, more and more students are starting to try forbidden fruits. If there is no proper protection during sexual intercourse, many students may become pregnant. Because when they are around 16 years old, both males and females' reproductive systems have already matured. If a student wants to have an abortion, they are minors and require the signature of their parents. If they are already adults, over 18 years old, they can sign themselves.

The person taking the medication must be pregnant within 45 days of menstruation cessation and under 34 years of age, with good physical health and no contraindications. Contraindications include: history or current severe systemic diseases, liver and kidney dysfunction, allergic constitution, heart disease, hypertension, anemia, asthma, glaucoma, skin itching during pregnancy, suspected ectopic pregnancy, long-term heavy medication, smoking more than 10 cigarettes per day, alcoholism, etc. Before taking the medication, a B-ultrasound examination should be performed to confirm intrauterine pregnancy. After the abortion, at least 3 to 5 days of rest is required. Strictly follow the doctor's instructions and attend follow-up appointments on time. Do not take the medication continuously. The hospital chosen for treatment must have emergency conditions (capable of emergency curettage, intravenous infusion, and blood transfusion). Do not use it as a regular contraceptive.

1. Stay in the hospital for observation for 1 hour after the expulsion of tissue. If vaginal bleeding is not excessive, you can go home to rest. 2. Take appropriate rest for 2 weeks after the abortion, eat nutritious food, and avoid heavy physical labor. 3. Maintain cleanliness of the perineum, and avoid baths and sexual activity when vaginal bleeding is present. 4. During the first 2 to 3 days after the abortion, vaginal bleeding is generally equivalent to or slightly more than menstrual flow. If vaginal bleeding is excessive or persists, seek medical attention promptly. 5. For those who do not expel tissue, observe for 2 weeks after medication, and pay attention to the expulsion of tissue during bowel movements. Submit urine for pregnancy testing weekly. 6. Ovulation may resume quickly after the abortion, so contraceptive measures should be taken to prevent another pregnancy.

Bleeding after medical abortion usually lasts for 1-3 weeks, generally decreasing day by day. If bleeding decreases and then increases again, remains unchanged, or gradually increases, it is abnormal. Common causes include: 1. Incomplete abortion: the main cause of bleeding after medical abortion, which can generally be diagnosed through gynecological examination and B-ultrasound. 2. Infection after medical abortion: if B-ultrasound shows no residual tissue in the uterus, consider infection within the uterus as the blood from the abortion is a good medium for bacteria. If the condition is severe, there may be tenderness in the uterus during gynecological examination, as well as fever. 3. Poor blood coagulation function: some people are prone to bruises or bumps after minor bumps or pinching, indicating poor blood coagulation function. During medical or surgical abortion, they may experience excessive bleeding or prolonged bleeding. Management: due to the many possible causes, it is best to undergo a detailed examination at the hospital for diagnosis.
