Abortion methods

Although abortion is not a good thing, for many young men and women who become pregnant due to momentary impulse, it is better to choose abortion. Because they are not prepared to be parents, the child will be born with great harm. There are also many unavoidable reasons that make people choose abortion. Next, we will introduce you to the content about abortion methods in detail.

1. Medical abortion

Medical abortion is suitable for pregnancies within 4 weeks. The pregnancy can be terminated by taking anti-pregnancy drugs, and there is no need to use mechanical instruments to enter the uterine cavity. The method is simple, safe and effective, the patient suffers less pain and recovers strength quickly. However, the vaginal bleeding caused by medical abortion is more than the normal menstrual cycle, and sometimes incomplete abortion may occur, and even lead to hemorrhagic anemia, reproductive tract infection, etc.

2. Curettage abortion

Curettage abortion is also known as dilation and curettage. A procedure in which the fetus and placenta are removed using forceps after the cervix is ​​dilated. It is suitable for terminating pregnancy of 11 to 14 weeks and for those who are not suitable for induced labor with drugs. The operation time is short and there are no drug side effects, but there are occasional complications such as cervical laceration and uterine perforation. Due to the research on prostaglandins and Chinese herbal medicine, the use of drugs to induce labor for pregnancies over 11 weeks is more effective and less damaging, so forceps and curettage may gradually be replaced by drugs to induce labor.

3. Vacuum suction abortion

The so-called negative pressure suction abortion is also known as suction uterus. A surgical procedure in which the embryonic tissue in the uterus is sucked out using a device that applies 400 to 500 mmHg of negative pressure within 10 weeks of pregnancy. The operation takes only a few minutes, has few complications, does not require anesthesia, and can be performed during surgery. Things to note during negative pressure aspiration surgery: Carefully examine before surgery to determine the size and position of the uterus to avoid uterine perforation or incomplete abortion due to failure to completely aspirate the embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity; choose an appropriate suction tube number and negative pressure to avoid damaging the cervix and uterine cavity; grasp the signs of complete aspiration of the uterine cavity contents; pay attention to strictly implement aseptic operations to avoid infection.
