It often happens that young peopleface an unwanted pregnancy. The reasons for this may be non -compliance with the rules of contraception, torn during intercourse, a condom, having sex in « safe » The days that were not at all safe, the physical violence that a woman was subjected to, and others. Very rarely pregnancy that occurred as a result of these reasons can be desirable. Unwanted pregnancy often leads women to desire, and sometimes the need to do an abortion. An abortion in the early stages implies the removal of an embryo, whose age is no more than 12 weeks, and its weight reaches only a few grams. Termination of pregnancy in the later stages — This is already removal of the fetus not older than 22 weeks. Abortion procedures in the early and in the later stages may differ from each other due to the complexity of operations. So, how is the abortion procedure carried out?
Methods of interruption of unwanted pregnancy
Before starting the procedure itselfBreeding pregnancy, it is necessary to take some tests. Among such ultrasound tests, gynecological smear, blood on syphilis, HIV and hepatitis. After all the necessary tests are handed over, you get a direction from your obstetrician-gynecologist, who previously examined you, determined the exact gestational age and, due to all this, recommended the most suitable way of abortion. If there is any infection, it is necessary to treat without fail and only then proceed to the abortion procedure. If the conception of the child is extremely undesirable for you and you finally decided to get rid of the embryo or fetus (depending on the deadline), then try to visit the gynecologist as early as possible. In the absence of menstruation, do not pull. Ведь на самом начальном этапе, возможно, потребуется лишь медикаментозное прерывание или мини-аборт. This type of abortion is much higher, but it has its undeniable advantages, the main thing is among which — Lack of surgery. This type of abortion can be carried out only in cases where pregnancy is not higher than 8 weeks.
More on medical abortion
At the earliest stages of the conception of the embryo(fetal egg) still does not have any close connection with the wall of the uterus. This suggests that its removal in the absence of communication with the uterus is much easier to carry out than in the late stages. Modern medicine developed the so -called abortive tablets that prevent the development of pregnancy and as a result interrupt it. These drugs are represented by many different manufacturers. Among such drugs, Mifegin, Pencroft, Mifepriston, Mifolian and others. Two days after taking an abortive drug, you should come to your gynecologist. It is possible that during these 48 hours nothing will happen to you, sometimes pulling pains in the lower abdomen are observed. The doctor will follow how the embryo rejection occurs and whether it occurs. There are times when the doctor offers other means that will help to accelerate the process of rejection of the fetal egg. If after taking these drugs you have a plentiful and very painful menstruation, then this only indicates that the rejection of the embryo still occurred. Blood discharge can last up to two weeks, and after the deadline, an examination of the doctor is recommended again. During drug termination of unwanted pregnancy, some problems can be observed. One of the most important problems may be an unpronounceal interruption. Such a pregnancy can no longer be preserved, mini-abortion is required. This is due to the fact that abortive drugs cause irreparable harm to the embryo. Another problem may arise — This is severe bleeding. In this case, surgical intervention may be required. In addition to all of the above, it can be very sick, pain in the abdomen and pressure will increase. The largest plus of this method of termination of pregnancy should be considered the lack of surgical intervention, which means the lack of possible infection and uterine injury.
Some drugs of abortive action
Medication abortion — This is an interruptionUnwanted pregnancy through drugs. It does not require surgical and surgery, the most reliable and painless. But this is only ideal. Very often, the pharmaceutical (drug) abortion ends with surgical intervention, as well as serious moral and physical consequences. Drug interruption of unwanted conception — This is rather a kind of psychological factor. Women, trying to terminate the pregnancy, feel much less guilt than during surgery, when the direct destruction of the fetus and its extraction from the uterus are necessary. Everything seems to be much easier here: I drank a pill, and the case is closed. But in fact it is all — Also the cessation of the life of an unborn child. An abortion carried out in a medical way is almost no different from surgical termination of pregnancy.
Vacuum abortion or mini-abortion
This method of removing the embryo is possible inIf the gestational age does not exceed 7 weeks. Otherwise, it is called mini-abortion. This procedure is carried out under general intravenous anesthesia. The operation implies the introduction of a special tube into the uterus, which has a direct connection with the device. After the device is turned on, the effect of a vacuum is created in the tube, as a result of which the fetal egg is absorbed into the tube and removed from the uterine cavity. The embryo during the influence of the device is destroyed into small parts. There are frequent cases when, using a vacuum, it is not possible to completely remove the embryo. In this case, you have to resort to the curett of the uterine cavity. The procedure implies the removal of the mucous epidermal layer of the uterus (respectively, and the embryo itself) using a curette (a special device in the form of a spoon). After the procedure is completed, a woman may have pain in the lower abdomen, as well as discharge resembling menstruation. It is possible that the doctor will prescribe a course of antibiotics. After the mini-abortion, it is recommended to make an ultrasound, which will accurately confirm that the termination of pregnancy has nevertheless occurred, and there were no traces of the embryo.
Medical abortion and termination of pregnancy at a later date
Medical termination of pregnancyIt is carried out if the fetus is not more than 12 weeks. The sooner abortion is carried out — The less the likelihood of complications. The body of the fetus at this time increases by 2 times compared to 6 weeks of pregnancy. This suggests that the uterus will have to be opened much wider than with mini-abortion. The doctor with the help of forceps will remove the fetus, crushing it into pieces. The sensations after such an abortion are approximately the same as with mini-abortion. The most difficult is the removal of the fetus older than 12 weeks. It can be carried out up to 24-year-old age of the fetus itself. At will, such an abortion cannot be carried out, there must be social and medical indications. Among social indications, there may be an unexpected death of her husband during pregnancy, deprivation of parental rights or pregnancy arising from rape. Interruption at such terms implies an artificial causing childbirth or a cesarean section, as a result of which the fetus will be removed. This procedure lasts at least three days. During this time, the cervix of the uterus is expanded and give her painkillers. On the third day, a woman takes a special medicine that provokes childbirth. This method of abortion is considered the most extreme and resembles real birth, but there is no child as a result.
