In the modern world, there is a lot of talk about the prohibition of abortion. There are many views on this problem: religious, public, medical, and so on. We will not touch on the ethical side of the operation. What is an abortion? This is an abortion. In Russia, abortions are allowed for up to 12 weeks. The earlier it is done, the lower the risk to health and the possibility of subsequent pregnancies. So, medical and vacuum abortions are allowed for up to six weeks.
First of all, you need to do a pregnancy test. If it is positive, you need to contact a gynecologist. He will be able to accurately determine whether a woman is pregnant. Further only she has the right to decide whether to leave her a child or to have an abortion. It is worth remembering that no one has the right to force her to terminate a pregnancy. Neither parents, nor husband, nor doctor. Usually, if time permits, they give time to think about a decision. In exceptional cases, surgical or vacuum abortions are performed on the day of treatment.
The procedure ("vacuum") is performed under
local anesthesia. At the request of the woman, general anesthesia can be performed. With the latter option, the patient will have to stay longer in the hospital. This is due to the fact that in this case, the body departs longer from anesthesia. Before the operation, the woman is given two tablets. The first is aimed at relaxing the cervix. The second causes uterine contractions. Then the vagina is expanded with a special tool, and the fetal egg is removed using a vacuum. If the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, increased sweating, as well as nausea and dizziness, may be observed. The doctor carefully examines the removed contents. If he has doubts, then he curette additionally cleanses the uterine cavity. Upon completion, the patient is placed in a hospital for observation. This is necessary to quickly monitor possible complications.
It is easy to have a vacuum abortion. The consequences can be harder. Since all manipulations are performed blindly, there is a risk of leaving a fetal egg inside the uterus. And this leads to inflammation and the development of sepsis. Therefore, upon completion, it is important to conduct an ultrasound scan. Another likely complication is hormonal imbalance. Since during conception, the body undergoes restructuring and preparation for bearing the fetus, both medical, surgical, and vacuum abortions disrupt this process. With an unfavorable outcome, everything can end in infertility. Blood discharge and mild abdominal pain may be observed.
What needs to be done before performing a vacuum abortion? Read reviews about the clinic. Do not save. Your health depends on how the intervention is performed. In particular, the opportunity to have children. One mistake, and you are forever barren. Therefore, do not neglect the choice of a doctor and hospital. And remember that the earlier an abortion is made, the lesser the consequences for the body.
Both surgical and vacuum abortions negatively affect a woman’s health, but the latter is considered much less traumatic. When it does not use metal tools (with the exception of the curette). Therefore, the danger of excessively clearing the endometrium tends to zero. And this means a small risk of developing miscarriages in the future.
