Abortion Methods

There are many abortion methods used by experts and non experts. There is a wide range of justification with regards to the decision to terminate a pregnancy. Medical reasons include non-viable pregnancies and ectopic pregnancies. Before discussing abortion methods, it is advisable to perform an ultrasound to determine the real state of things in this direction for the future. Standard procedures take into account the duration of pregnancy. This vital information is to be accurately determined so that the best practices can be implemented. In the early months of pregnancy or during the first quarter, there are methods to be referred or recommended. Surgical abortion methods or medical procedures are the options at this point.

Abortion Methods

Chemical method is simply to provide a miscarriage drug (a substance to create an abortion) for the patient. This abortion method is a chosen over the surgical abortion method by an expectant mother. Two oral medications called mifepristone and misoprostol would be combined in this procedure. Also known as RU-486, mifepristone will cease operation of progesterone in the body. Consequently, the germ separates from the womb and bleeding occurs. Once this begins, misoprostol (a dose) is recommended. The tablet causes uterine contractions, thus expelling the fetus which is not grown, yet.

Several abortion methods are used by doctors to terminate a pregnancy. Abortion is induced by chemicals or surgery. Abortion methods are directly chosen depending on the stage of pregnancy like the first quarter or the second quarter – it all depends on the preference of a pregnant woman.

Where surgical procedures are concerned, three abortion methods are available to terminate a pregnancy during the first three months of pregnancy. They are: (a) After the cervix is dilated, the embryo is removed from the walls of the uterus with a curette (a sharp instrument.) This is called dilation and curettage. (b) Furthermore, MVA (manual vacuum aspiration) where after expansion of the cervix, the doctor removes the embryonic tissue through a needle aspiration. (c) As in (b), suction power is used. The syringe is replaced by an electric pump.

There are three options again with regards to the interruption of pregnancy during the second quarter: (a) The first method of abortion is dilation and evacuation. After dilation of the cervix, the walls of the uterus are scraped with the instruments. Finally, embryonic tissue is removed with the aid of suction. (B) Uterine incision or hysterotomy (similar to the C-section), home to the aborted fetus. (c) Intact dilation and extraction abortions, partial or total are still in dispute. The cervix is dilated. A clamp is used to reverse the fetus in the breech position. A suction device is inserted into the skull of the fetus after an incision at the base. The device eliminates the brain tissue within it.

Although there is an abortion method, which was very popular until the time Anesthesiology and surgery was invented, namely in the 19th century, it is not supported or condoned by the medical community. This is an herbal abortion method and is generally not considered to be safe. So, it would be wiser to stay away from such abortion methods altogether.
