The issues of childbearing and the right to control one’s own body have led to the fact that abortion has gone underground and has become a completely legal method of birth control. Of course, if a woman decides to have an abortion, the timing here plays an important role. After all, the less time has passed from conception, the less negative consequences a woman will suffer as a result of the intervention.
What is vacuum aspiration and its features
Among women of childbearing age, it is widely believed that the so-called mini-abortion is the safest. In this case, the terms are meant to be small - up to six weeks. Simplified, this method of
abortion is called a "vacuum." Indeed, the
fetal egg is removed through a special needle using the vacuum created in the medical device. However, there are a number of serious limitations imposed by this abortion. The dates in this list are in first place.
A lot depends on the qualifications of the doctor performing vacuum aspiration. If the abortion process has gone wrong, and small fragments of the fetal egg remain on the inner surface of the uterus, then a second procedure, the so-called curettage with the help of tools, will be required. In this case, the probability of negative consequences increases significantly.
Early medical abortion
Specially formulated medications can
cause miscarriage in the early stages, thus ending the
pregnancy. Should I dwell on this option? Doctors unanimously claim that the effectiveness of the method is approximately 98%. This is almost guaranteed a successful abortion. In this case, the terms should be the less, the better. However, there are serious contraindications.
Any inflammatory and / or infectious processes in the genitourinary tract are a contraindication. According to the instructions, it is first required to cure the inflammation, but time will be lost during the treatment period, because pregnancy cannot be asked to take a break and develop more slowly. A number of diseases in the treatment of which hormonal drugs are used is another serious obstacle. Finally, it is worth mentioning an ectopic pregnancy, for the abortion of which there are no alternatives to surgical intervention.
How to minimize the negative effects of abortion?
Gynecologists are alarmed by the tendency observed among working women to endure all health troubles on their feet. But if a mild cold at first glance is not so dangerous, then going to work on the day of termination of pregnancy is the height of frivolity.
Even if you are planning a vacuum abortion, the recovery period begins with a day of bed rest. And this is the minimum rehabilitation that you must follow.
Repeated examination by a gynecologist is required within three to five days after abortion. If there has been an unsuccessful abortion, the timeframe for correcting the consequences is critically reduced, and repeated curettage may be required. We hope that you will give preference to high-quality contraception that prevents pregnancy, because completely safe abortions, alas, do not exist.
