A service performing very early abortions in a district general hospital uses menstrual aspiration, which enables abortion to be carried out early, easily, safely, and simply. Menstrual aspiration avoids interference with routine gynaecological work and permits an operator to widen his criteria for accepting patients for termination. From September 1975 to April 1977 123 cases were referred and 104 aspirations were performed. Termination of pregnancy failed in only two cases, through inexperience, and infection occurred in only one case. Menstrual aspiration should be performed within 10-18 days of missing a period.
一家地区综合医院开展极早期人工流产服务，采用月经抽吸术，该方法能使人工流产在早期、轻松、安全且简单的情况下进行。月经抽吸术避免了对常规妇科工作的干扰，使手术人员能够放宽接受终止妊娠患者的标准。从1975年9月至1977年4月，共转诊123例，进行了104次抽吸手术。仅两例因经验不足导致妊娠终止失败，仅一例发生感染。月经抽吸术应在月经推迟10至18天内进行。
