What are the methods for terminating pregnancy?

Girls will all get pregnant. Pregnancy is very hard and miscarriages may occur. You won’t know unless you experience it yourself. You must be cautious when you are pregnant and pay attention to your diet and medication. There will be many unknown illnesses waiting for pregnant mothers at this time. Perhaps mothers who are not prepared choose to terminate the pregnancy. Let’s take a look at the methods of terminating pregnancy.

A concept

Termination of pregnancy refers to the termination of the process in which the mother bears the development and growth of the fetus in her body. A woman during pregnancy is called a pregnant woman, a woman who is pregnant for the first time is called a primigravida, a woman who has given birth once is called a primipara, and a woman who has been pregnant twice or more is called a multipara. The fertilization of the egg marks the beginning of pregnancy, and the expulsion of the fetus and its appendages, namely the placenta and fetal membranes, from the mother's body marks the end of pregnancy.

Second method

1. Medical abortion method: refers to the method of terminating pregnancy by injection or medication. Taking medicine to induce abortion is relatively common and is the best choice for many women who are afraid of surgery.

Advantages: No artificial instruments are involved, which can avoid genital damage or infection.

Disadvantages: The success rate is around 75%, which is relatively low. If problems occur, there will be risks of incomplete or failed medical abortion, heavy bleeding, etc. In severe cases, a curettage operation is required. The suitable population is small, and medical abortion is generally not recommended for people over 55.

2. Traditional abortion: This is what we call "artificial" termination of pregnancy, which refers to the use of surgical methods to terminate pregnancy. During the traditional artificial abortion process, because of the need to perform intrauterine operations, the reproductive tract will inevitably be damaged.

Advantages: The success rate is relatively high, and unclean abortions are less common. If an emergency occurs during the operation, emergency treatment can be provided in time.

Disadvantages: It is painful during the procedure, and those with weak constitutions may go into shock. If the instruments used during the operation are not clean or other circumstances occur, it is easy to cause infection of the reproductive organs.

3. Painless abortion: This is a common method used by many people to terminate pregnancy. It refers to the addition of intravenous general anesthesia to abortion, and the operator performs the operation under general intravenous anesthesia.

Advantages: General anesthesia is painless to the patient, lasts quickly, and has a high success rate.

Disadvantages: If uterine perforation occurs during surgery, the patient will be unresponsive due to anesthesia, and sometimes it may be too late by the time the doctor notices it, which can be life-threatening.
