Medical Abortion Procedure
Unfortunately, an abortion is often used for family planning
, despite the possible complications. Nowadays, some women try to terminate their pregnancy, with the help of "the old wifes methods": with the help of hard physical labor, the various broths, even a hot bath. Typically, these methods do not have the desired effect, and are even dangerous. Very often after them a surgical abortion is required to save a woman's life.
A surgical abortion may lead to various complications: the early (occur immediately after the surgery), the tardive (occur in a month), and the distant ones. The immediate complications include uterine perforation, bleeding. Asurgical abortion may lead to tradive complications: endometritis, ovaries inflammation, menstrual disorder. Apart from that, an abortion involves long-term, more serious complications that lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
Instead of a traditional abortion modern woman may choose an alternative therapeutic option, - a medical abortion (abortion with the help of a pill), which is performed in the early pregnancy period(6-7 weeks).
Many people wonder how is a medical abortion performed?
This abortion is performed with the help of "antihormones" called mifepristone. It blocks the "pregnancy hormone" called progesterone. Under the influence of such a pill an ovum exfoliates and a fetus gets spontaneously expelled from a uterus. For a better uterus emptying doctors prescribe prostaglandins, thanks to the combined use of these drugs, a medical abortion is effective for up to 98%.
Medical abortion pros.
It should be noted that from the psychological point of view, a medical form of abortion is tolerated more easily. Many patients prefer this form of abortion due its painless, anesthesia exclusion, its gentle nature, the possibility to realize what is happening and to monitor their condition. In contrast to traditional abortion, there are no complications observed after a medical abortion.
The essential issue is the environment in which a therapeutic abortion is performed, a procedure confidentiality and medical staff loyalty to a patient.
Approximately 95% of women who have passed through a medical abortion claimed to use this method in the case of a consecutive abortion..
A woman in the presence of a doctor is taking the pill in the clinic, which has a license.
Medical abortion procedure.
Medical abortion procedure includes the following stages.
On the first day when a woman tells her doctor about her decision to have an abortion, she runs diagnostic tests to make sure that there is no contraindication. Then the patient receives a detailed description of a medical abortion procedure, and reiterates her willing to have a medical abortion. Further, in the presence of a gynecologist the woman takes the pill and goes back home. After taking mifepristone, women may be spotting. They have to visit the clinic once again in 36-48 hours.
On the third day after taking the pill the patient takes prostaglandin and spends 2-4 hours under her doctors supervision. Bleeding similar to a menstruation one becomes heavier during this period of time. An ovum gets expelled right in the clinic or in the near future. The doctor examines his patient again in 8-14 days to make sure that an egg has been fully expelled.
Patients do not have to remain at bed rest during a medical abortion.
Due to a medical abortion progesterone receptors get temporarily blocked, that is why there are no negative consequences for the new conception. Therefore, in order not to get pregnant again, a woman should use contraceptives, prescribed by her doctor.
