Choosing The Right Abortion Technique

By Mark Wondsner


Women often find it difficult to collect information about abortions, simply because it does have several controversies surrounding it. However, you need to understand that abortion involves a lot of complex things than just pro-life and pro-choice factors.

Before you understand the problems, it becomes important for you to understand what is abortion? Abortion is a technique that is used to deal with unwanted pregnancy. Now, there are different methods of abortions available to choose from, but it depends strictly on the availability of the health care facilities, social and economic status and the gestation period of the lady and also the overall health of the patient of course.

As far as the medical community is concerned there are different conclusions that come up with abortion. The natural abortion or otherwise known as the spontaneous abortion is referred to the miscarriage that female suffer with, which is caused due to trauma or shock that inadvertently affects the foetus, this automatically forces the body to expel the pregnancy. The spontaneous abortion is also found if the foetus has genetic infection or other diseases.

Next is the induced abortion is the kind of abortion that is induced by using specific medicines. There are two types of abortion that come into two types, therapeutic abortion and elective abortion. The former abortion occurs when it is found that the health of the mother is at risk and the pregnancy has to be terminated. It is also considered as the best option, if the foetus is found to be genetically abnormal and its further development can lead to death. Moreover, people are also known to prefer therapeutic abortion, in case of multiple births, as it might affect mother's health.

Lastly, we have the elective abortion category that is considered as one of the most popular procedures that has a bad reputation. The Elective abortion is preferred by mothers due to a variety of reasons and it is known to suffer through a lot of scrutiny. Namely, there are three methods used in this procedure, the surgical method, chemical method and the herbal method. The use of Herbal method was stopped long ago, as it had major effects on the body of the female, was considered to be fatal and had a lot of risks.

Surgical method is one of the popular elective abortion techniques, however, this process can be used depending on the stage of pregnancy the female is i.e. the first trimester. Here the manual vacuum aspiration, electric aspiration or the dilation and curettage can be performed to eliminate the pregnancy.

If the female is going through the second trimester stage then it is preferred to use the dilation and evacuation method. It is also found that induced abortions techniques are also used during the second trimester stage by using drugs that are injected in the amniotic fluid or hysterectomy abortions are performed. You also have the option of choosing for the chemical abortion and this option can be discussed with the doctor to eliminate pregnancy, drugs such as methotrexate and mifepristone are used for drug abortion.

Another surgical method used for this is the aspiration technique, which includes vacuum aspiration, suction aspiration and dilation or aspiration. It is found that if the female is in the later days of the second trimester of her pregnancy, in such cases gynaecologists are known to opt for dilation and evacuation. As a women looks to get aborted, it becomes very important for her to get it done by 24th week, because doing it after that can be problematic for the female.
