Abortion, also known as Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP), is a medical procedure used to terminate an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy. It is a legal and safe option for women who choose not to continue their pregnancy due to personal, social, medical, or health-related reasons. The procedure involves the removal of pregnancy tissues from the uterus using medication or surgical methods, depending on the gestational age of the pregnancy.
There are two primary methods of abortion depending on the stage of pregnancy and the patient's health condition:
Women who suspect an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy, those facing medical complications during pregnancy, or those seeking pregnancy termination for personal or social reasons should consult a gynecologist. Seeking medical advice at the earliest ensures safe and legal abortion services, minimizing health risks and ensuring the patient's overall well-being. The gynecologist will provide a thorough evaluation, discuss the available options, and guide the patient through the most suitable and safe method of abortion.
