Safe abortion is a medical procedure that is performed by trained medical professionals in a safe and clean environment. The specific steps involved in the procedure may vary depending on the stage of pregnancy and the preferences of the patient.

In general, however, the following steps are typically involved in a safe abortion:
  • The patient is given medication to help them relax and prepare for the procedure.
  • The cervix is gently dilated, usually with the use of medication or mechanical dilators.
  • The uterus is emptied using gentle suction or other medical instruments.
  • The patient is monitored to ensure that the abortion is complete and that there are no complications.
If you are pregnant and considering an abortion and cannot decide what is right and what is wrong, you can always seek the help of a doctor.

There are many common reasons for choosing an abortion.

  • You don't want to have any children or you don't want more children.
  • You don't want to be pregnant because it is not a good time to be pregnant or parent a child.
  • The fetus has a birth defect.
  • You have health problems.
  • Pregnancy is a result of sexual assault.
The patient is given medications to help them recover and prevent infection. It's important to remember that safe abortion is a medical procedure, and it should only be performed by trained medical professionals in a safe and clean environment.

If you are considering an abortion, you can consult Dr. Deepika Doshi one of the best Gynecologist in Dahisar, and get more information about the procedure and your options.
 
Your option for an abortion depends on the duration of your pregnancy.

Types of abortion

  • Medical abortion 
  • Surgical abortion

Medical abortion 

  • Confirmation of how many weeks pregnant you are
  • Usually done during pregnancy,
  • It involves the use of two medications, mifepristone, and misoprostol.
The first medication, mifepristone, is given at the clinic and then, 48 hours later, misoprostol is given.

What to expect?

  • Absorbed abdominal pain
  • Absorbed abdominal cramps
  • Vaginal bleeding 
Some patients may have a fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Vaginal bleeding 

It is normal to experience vaginal bleeding during a medication abortion, and it means the tablets are working. Bleeding may be heavy in the first few hours after you take misoprostol. Bleeding usually decreases once the pregnancy tissue passes out. The bleeding usually continues for 3 to 4 days and then decreases and stops within a week or two.

If you soak the pads for an hour or two more, or if you don't have any bleeding after the medicine, you have to contact the clinic.

It is normal to have pain and cramps after taking a second dose which may be mild or strong. It subsides once the pregnancy tissue has passed out of your uterus. Most of the time, it happens within two to 24 hours after taking misoprostol. You can take a painkiller, or you can use a heating pad. If the pain is very severe and not relieved by medicine, contact your clinic.

How effective is a medical abortion?

  • Very effective in early pregnancy, up to 63 days.
  • Success rate: 95 to 98%.
  • If the procedure fails, you will require a surgical abortion.
It is possible that your medication abortion was not successful if
  • You don't have vaginal bleeding after taking medications.
  • I still have pregnancy symptoms.
  • Bleeding was present after two weeks.

Surgical abortion

  • In this pregnancy, it is removed by a procedure that takes place in a clinic hospital.
  • It does not require any abdominal incisions. In this case, the instruments are passed through the vagina and cervix into the uterus to remove the pregnancy. The procedure is done under IV sedation or local anesthesia.
  • The procedure takes 15 to 20 minutes. After the procedure, you have to stay for 2 to 4 hours in the hospital, depending upon your recovery.
  • After the procedure, you might have abdominal pain and some vaginal bleeding for a few days.

Follow-up care

The reason for follow-up is to ensure that the procedure was completed and there were no retained products. 
You will be requested further visits at the hospital by an Abortion Doctor in Borivali, Mumbai Dr. Deepika Doshi. You may also consult a doctor on call / Whatsapp for any questions.

Complications

Abortion is safe and rarely causes complications. However, as with any medical procedure, complications are sometimes seen. These include excessive bleeding, infection, injury, or pregnancy tissue remaining inside the uterus.

In 2005-6, the country recorded 9% births via C-section; by 2015-16, the rate had increased to 18%, according to a series of papers published recently in The Lancet.

Hysteroscopy: is a procedure in which a small telescope with a light source, is inserted through the vaginal opening of the patient.
