The best time to perform a curettage is between 42 and 63 days of menopause, when a visible germ can be found in the uterine cavity, which is less likely to cause leakage and rarely results in incomplete aspiration. Also, the tissue is soft and does not easily block the suction tube. Within 42 days of menopause, scraping is prone to leaky aspiration. After 63 days of menopause, the fetus has already formed and is not suitable for suctioning the uterine cavity with a suction tube. Therefore, above 63 days of menopause, termination of pregnancy usually requires oral medication abortion. At about 12 weeks of menopause, a medication abortion in conjunction with a curettage procedure is often required to terminate a pregnancy. Termination of pregnancy beyond 12 weeks often requires hospitalization. After hospitalization, the options of medication abortion, hydrocolloid induction of labor, and Levanox induction of labor are available depending on the circumstances.
