Medical Termination of Pregnancy/Abortion Types
There are generally two ways in which a woman can voluntarily terminate the pregnancy i.e. medication and surgical abortions.
Procedure for Abortion through medication:
In this process, the pregnant woman takes pills at home or clinic to end the pregnancy. It is the most effective method during the first three months or 12 weeks after conceiving. The 2 medicines that are recommended are mifepristone and misoprostol. The doctor will prescribe the appropriate dosage. After consumption of these medicines, it causes cramping and bleeding, by taking out the uterus through the vagina. The risks are very rare for this treatment.
Procedure for Surgical Pregnancy Termination:
Surgical abortion involves using surgical tools such as suction or forceps to remove the fetus or embryo from a woman’s womb. This procedure is carried out at a clinic or hospital by medical specialists. The patient will be given anaesthesia. The following are the types of surgical abortions in Hyderabad-
- Vacuum Aspiration/Gentle suction– In this procedure, the doctors remove the fetus or embryo through the cervix after expanding it and then use a suction device called manual vacuum or electric vacuum which is inserted into the uterus to terminate the pregnancy. This process is painful as it causes cramping and bleeding. It is carried out within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
- Dilation and Curettage abortion– This procedure is used to remove the tissues inside of the uterus to treat an incomplete abortion or miscarriage. Usually, the cervix is expanded using a series of smooth rods and then the curette is used to scrape the inner lining containing the tissues. All of this is carried out within 13 weeks of pregnancy under local or general anaesthesia.
- Dilation & Evacuation abortion– The process starts with giving the patient general anaesthesia. Then the cervix is expanded using thin rods called dilators and a suction machine is used to evacuate the uterus. This is usually performed between 15-24 weeks of pregnancy and takes 10-15 minutes to finish.
What can I do before getting an Abortion?
Before the abortion, the doctor will assess your health and any complications that might be there before finally choosing an abortion method. Apart from the directions that the doctor gives you for the procedure, here are some more things you can do:
- Take the medicines prescribed by your doctor on time(dilation medicines, painkillers, or any other regular medicines) as prescribed by the doctor.
- Keep an attendant with you to guide you through the procedure and get you to and from the hospital.
- A few weeks before the abortion, you should stop drinking and smoking.
- Do not eat 10 hours before the procedure or drink at least 4 hours before the procedure.
- Get some sanitary pads and loose clothes after the surgery, as there will usually be bleeding.
- Carry a heating pad to relieve abdominal pain and cramping after the surgery.
- Mentally prepare and ensure that you have strong social support.
How do I take care of myself after an abortion?
An abortion can have a physical and mental impact on a mother’s health, therefore self-care techniques are required.
- Avoid strenuous work
- Take the help of friends and family
- Use a heating pad
- Follow up with a doctor for further consultation.
- Abortion causes a decrease in female sex hormones such as progesterone and estrogen, resulting in mood swings and depression.
- Take help physically, mentally, and emotionally.
