At Ayushman Hospital, we offer women seeking mid-trimester abortion safe and legally supportive environment, so their emotional and physical needs are adequately met.
What Are the Reasons for Performing a Mid Trimester abortion?
- There are several reasons that can lead to a mid-trimester abortion. Some of them include:
- While performing the ultrasound, severe fetal abnormalities are noted and put out of pity.
- The mother has complications in health. Some of these complications include severe preeclampsia, heart disease, or infections.
- Inadvertent recognition of a pregnancy, where the mother was not aware prior to her recognizing the pregnancy.
- Personal discrimination, social discrimination, or mental health problems are possible.
How Mid-Trimester Abortion is Conducted
Two primary elective abortion procedures: Medical Abortion (Induction Method) and Surgical Abortion. Methods depending on time in pregnancy (gestational age) and medical history. Both procedures initially begin with an ultrasound assessing fetal heart activity and uterine thickness. The predominant method used is
- Medical Abortion (Induction Method)
Compile medication abortions such as Misoprostol, Mifepristone, to induce labor and expel the pregnancy or Prenatal extraction during 13-to-20-week range.
The procedure could take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, which is attended to by a professional doctor.
- Surgical Abortion (Dilation and Evacuation – D&E)
A form of surgical abortion commonly carries out at 14 to 24 weeks.
Consists of expansion of the cervix in combination with extraction of products of pregnancy tissue by means of a specialized tool.
It is performed under pain-free anesthesia to reduce discomfort.
This is a rapid procedure, and is very effective, lasting around 30 to 45 minutes on average.
What to Expect During the Procedure?
- Pre-operative detailed consultation to evaluate the medical history and risk factors for the patient is performed.
- Confirmation ultrasound and lab examinations will be carried out to evaluate how far along the patient’s pregnancy is, as well as their overall health.
- Patients who have received medical abortion treatment will be supervised regarding the progress of the medical procedure.
- In cases of surgical abortion (D&E), anesthesia is administered so that the procedure can be done painlessly.
- Pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection are provided after the procedure.
Recovery After a Mid-Trimester Abortion
- Most women are expected to recover after several days to a week for their remaining physical symptoms. These may include:
- Lower abdominal pain of slight to moderate intensity (dysmenorrhea).
- Some light bleeding for a few days or weeks, noted as spotting.
- Shifts in the mood, which is normal after an abortion, required counseling and adequate support.
Patients are advised to:
- Refrain from sex for the first few weeks to minimize the risk of infection.
- Limit physical activity and heavy lifting at least one-week post-operation.
- Check in with their gynecologists for proper healing and further discussions about contraception and reproductive health.
