How Do Abortion

 

Abortion is a medical procedure that involves ending a pregnancy by removing the fetus or embryo from the uterus. The specific method used depends on various factors, such as how far along the pregnancy is and the health of the pregnant person.

There are several methods of abortion, including:

1. Medication abortion: This method involves taking medication, usually a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, to induce a miscarriage. Medication abortion is typically done in the first trimester of pregnancy.

2. Vacuum aspiration: Also known as suction curettage, this method involves using a small tube to suction the contents of the uterus out through the cervix. This method is usually done in the first trimester of pregnancy.

3. Dilation and curettage (D&C): This method involves dilating the cervix and using a surgical instrument to remove the contents of the uterus. D&C is typically done in the first or second trimester of pregnancy.

4. Dilation and evacuation (D&E): This method is similar to D&C, but it involves using surgical instruments and suction to remove the contents of the uterus. D&E is typically done in the second trimester of pregnancy.

It is important to note that the decision to have an abortion is a personal one, and the process can be emotionally and physically challenging. It is recommended that individuals seeking an abortion speak with a medical professional and receive counseling before and after the procedure to ensure their physical and emotional well-being.
