Termination of pregnancy

ABORTION

If an unwanted pregnancy has occurred, it is important to carefully consider the situation and make a responsible decision about terminating it.

First, you must go to a family doctor or gynaecologist. The doctor will assess your general health, confirm that pregnancy has indeed occurred, determine its stage and order several tests — a blood test for syphilis and Rh-factor determination. If needed, the doctor may order additional examinations. The doctor will write a referral for the abortion procedure, which may be performed no earlier than 72 hours after the visit to the doctor.

In your conversation with the doctor, try to clarify all the questions that interest you. It is the doctor’s duty to listen to the patient and answer their questions, but the doctor cannot know what is unclear to you if you do not ask. So do not hesitate and ask freely. It is important to find out how the abortion will be performed, what medications will be used, what complications there might be and their signs after the abortion. In a state of worry, the most important things are often forgotten, so it is useful to think through unclear questions before the visit and write them down so nothing is left unasked.

If a woman has an untreated genital infection and an abortion is performed, the risk of complications increases significantly — this is the most common cause of infertility after an abortion. If you have any complaints — itching, unusual discharge, a rash in the genital area — you or your partner must tell the doctor. If partners have changed and a condom was not used, the doctor should also know. If you previously had a sexually transmitted infection, be sure to tell the doctor.

If you are under 16 years of age, be sure to tell your parents or guardians about the pregnancy — you must obtain their written consent for the abortion.

Although right now, while considering an abortion, it may be difficult to think about future contraception, it would be important to discuss a safe and suitable contraception method with the doctor.

MEDICAL ABORTION

A medical abortion can be performed up to the 7th week of pregnancy. This type of abortion is the termination of pregnancy with pharmacological agents; its course resembles a spontaneous miscarriage, with bleeding from the genitals and cramping pain in the lower abdomen. A medical abortion occurs without anaesthesia, but painkillers may be used if needed.

As an alternative to surgical termination, a medical abortion gives a woman a choice of the method of termination. Its advantage is high effectiveness — up to 98.6%. A medical abortion makes it possible to avoid the risk of complications that could arise during a surgical abortion and anaesthesia; there is also a reduced risk of ascending infection, because a medical abortion does not traumatise our “protective system” — the cervical canal.

No invasive methods (injections, surgical manipulations) are required, during which the risk of infection with viral hepatitis B, C or HIV could increase. The endometrium, myometrium and cervix are not traumatised. Using tablets, the process is psychologically easier. Women often fear surgical procedures. A medical abortion is well tolerated. To make sure everything is fine with your health, be sure to visit the doctor two weeks after the abortion.

The doctor will check whether an infection has developed and explain how to care for your reproductive health going forward. Talk with the doctor and choose the contraception method most suitable for you to safely avoid repeated abortions.

ABORTION WITH A VACUUM PUMP

Up to the 12th week an abortion can be performed by the surgical method. First, special instruments are used to widen the entrance to the uterus (the cervix), then the ovum is separated from the uterine wall and removed with the help of a vacuum pump — the fetus is “suctioned out”; using a special, sharp instrument (a curette), the fetus is mechanically separated and removed from the uterus.

During the abortion, local or general anaesthesia is used; no pain is felt during the operation.

To make sure everything is fine with your health, be sure to visit the doctor when your next menstruation begins after the abortion.
