How to abort a baby when you are pregnant

For some women whose careers and work are affected by unexpected pregnancy, they have to have an abortion for various reasons. If the pregnancy has just started and has not yet fully formed, abortion is the best option and the damage to the body can be minimized. There are many methods of abortion, including medical abortion and surgical abortion, and the choice depends on personal physical condition.

What are the methods of artificial abortion?

Medical abortion: suitable for pregnancy within 4 weeks. The pregnancy can be terminated by taking anti-pregnancy drugs without the need to use mechanical instruments to enter the uterine cavity.

The method is simple, safe and effective, the patient suffers less pain and recovers strength quickly. However, vaginal bleeding caused by medical abortion is more than normal menstrual flow, and sometimes incomplete abortion may occur, and even lead to hemorrhagic anemia, reproductive tract infection, etc. Negative pressure suction abortion:

That is, suction uterus extraction. A surgical procedure in which the embryonic tissue in the uterus is sucked out using a device that applies 400 to 500 mmHg of negative pressure within 10 weeks of pregnancy. The operation takes only a few minutes, has few complications, does not require anesthesia, and can be performed on an outpatient basis.

Things to note during negative pressure aspiration surgery: Carefully examine before surgery to determine the size and position of the uterus to avoid uterine perforation or incomplete abortion due to failure to completely aspirate the embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity; choose the appropriate suction tube number and negative pressure to avoid damaging the cervix and uterine cavity; understand the signs of complete aspiration of the uterine cavity contents; and pay attention to strictly implement aseptic operations to avoid infection.

Curettage and abortion: also known as dilation and curettage. A procedure in which the fetus and placenta are removed using forceps after the cervix is ​​dilated. It is suitable for terminating pregnancy of 11 to 14 weeks and for those who are not suitable for drug-induced labor. The operation time is short and there are no drug side effects, but there are occasional complications such as cervical laceration and uterine perforation. Due to the research on prostaglandins and Chinese herbal medicine, medical induction of labor is more effective and less damaging for pregnancies over 11 weeks, so forceps curettage may gradually be replaced by medical induction of labor.
