Abortion or Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy so that it does not result in the birth of a baby.
Abortion or MTP in India is legal only up to twenty weeks of pregnancy.
First of all, go to a qualified well-experienced doctor in Gynecology and Obstetrics. Do not compromise on the qualification and experience of the doctor simply to save money.
There are two methods of abortion:
Please Note: Abortion in India is legal only up to twenty weeks of pregnancy.
The level of pain during an abortion process varies from woman to woman. Some women report that they feel like it is a normal period while others experience pain and discomfort. Painkillers are generally given to minimize the discomfort.
The bleeding will vary from woman to woman. Some women bleed heavily, some moderately, some lightly and some not at all, for one to three weeks after the abortion. Some women do not start to bleed until several days after the abortion. Some others stop bleeding and then start again. Some women pass clots, whilst experiencing strong cramps for several days.
The side effects of oral medication for abortion include:
Some possible complications of the oral medications are:
Usual side effects of surgical abortions include:
Some complications which require immediate medical attention after surgical abortion are:
You will have to undergo a physical exam, ultrasonography, and some blood tests before undergoing a surgical abortion.
The doctor and staff will educate you on what to expect during the surgical procedure, the self-care instructions, the side-effects you might experience, and possible complications which signal that you need to call your doctor immediately.
Your period should return to normal four to eight weeks following your abortion.
Abortion is not associated with an increase in breast cancer risk.
Abortions which have not had any complications will pose no risk to a woman’s future reproductive health. If infections crop up, then there are chances of damage to the fallopian tubes, which in turn can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy or fertility problems.
Swift medical intervention in such a case can easily prevent the risk.
The emotional after-effects of an abortion might vary from woman to woman. Some women might feel a sense of loss, depression, and sadness. Other might feel immense relief. Some others may encounter feelings of anger, confusion, shame, and guilt. On the whole, studies show that there is no long-term psychological distress associated with abortion.
You will need to ask your doctor regarding this. Though most of the doctors under ideal circumstances may suggest that you can continue with your sex life after two to three weeks of abortion, since light vaginal bleeding may continue for up to two weeks after the abortion.
But, please keep in mind that though it may be several weeks after your abortion before you menstruate again, you could ovulate in the first week or two after your abortion, meaning, you could get pregnant right away. Therefore, it is advisable to start using contraceptives and condom immediately if you do not wish to become pregnant right away.
Follow-up visits are extremely necessary to make sure there are no complications. Please visit the doctor according to the appointments scheduled for you.
Cost of Abortion can vary depending upon the city/locality, clinic/hospital type & amenities, experience of the provider, stage of pregnancy, whether it is medical or surgical abortion, patient's general condition etc. Typically, the cost of medical abortion may range from Rs. 3,000 to Rs, 10,000.
