What is Abortion?

Abortion is the early termination (end) of pregnancy. it can be of the following types :
Spontaneous starts on its own due to chromosomal/ hormonal/ infectious/ traumatic/unknown problems.
Induced: when the patient chooses for the termination on her own. This is called MTP or Medical Termination of Pregnancy.

MTP can be done surgically or with medicines, in both circumstances we do a general checkup of the patient and evaluate her fitness, an ultrasound and certain tests as per the requirement of the procedure.

Abortion by medicines

This is possible up to 7 weeks of pregnancy. But the doctor is the best judge because it has its problems like heavy bleeding and it may not be a good option for a frail lady.
This requires an ultrasound to confirm the duration of pregnancy and to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. Some baseline blood tests are also done. A typical dose regimen includes an oral dose followed by a vaginal insertion of a second dose after 48 hours. After the second dose heavy bleeding is expected to occur for a week or more. A repeat ultrasound is then done to determine whether any pregnancy bits remain. Medical care after a medical abortion includes physical exams and lab tests, education about what to expect, self-care instructions, information on when to call our doctor, and birth control planning. The success rate of this procedure is close to 95%. If it fails one may have to go for a surgical procedure.

Surgical MTP at the best and safest abortion centre in Chandigarh

Here the contents of the uterus are removed using instruments. This is possible up to 12 weeks of pregnancy and rarely up to 20 weeks if there are awesome abnormalities in the foetus (baby) or if the pregnancy results in grave injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant lady..The technique depends on the weeks of pregnancy. Care before and after a surgical abortion includes a physical exam, ultrasound and lab tests, education about what to expect, self-care instructions, symptoms when you should call your doctor, and birth control planning.
Suction evacuation – also called vacuum curettage or STOP (suction termination of pregnancy). Sometimes it is done with the abortion procedure called D & C (dilation and curettage). This is similar to the above but using a bigger constant suction machine. It is meant for pregnancies less than 14 weeks. This is one of the safest and simplest methods in surgical procedures. We generally perform a check curettage after suction.

Hysterotomy

– this is a surgical procedure that involves a opening of the abdomen to take out the foetus. It is rarely required for second-trimester abortion.
