Unwanted pregnancy: surgical and vacuum abortions, which is safer?

In the modern world there is a lot of talk about the prohibition of abortion. There are many views on this problem: religious, social, medical and so on. We will not touch on the ethical side of the operation. What is abortion? This is the termination of pregnancy. In Russia, abortions for up to 12 weeks are permitted. Than it will be earlier made, the less risk for health and possibility of the subsequent pregnancies. Thus, medicinal and vacuum abortions are allowed to be held for up to six weeks.

First of all, you need to do a pregnancy test. If it is positive, you need to turn to a gynecologist. He can determine if a woman is pregnant. Further only she has the right to decide whether to leave her a child or go to an abortion. It is worth remembering that no one has the right to force her to interrupt pregnancy. No parents, no husband, no doctor. Usually, if the deadline allows, give time to think about the solution. In exceptional cases, surgical or vacuum abortions are performed on the day of treatment.

The procedure ("vacuum") is performed under local anesthesia. At the request of a woman, general anesthesia can be performed. With the latter option, the patient will have to stay longer in the hospital. This is due to the fact that in this case the anesthetics leave the body longer. Before the operation, a woman is given two tablets. The first is aimed at relaxing the cervix. The second causes contractions of the uterus. Then a special tool widens her vagina, and the fetal egg is removed with a vacuum. If the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, there may be increased sweating, as well as nausea and dizziness. The doctor carefully examines the deleted content. If he has doubts, then he curette additionally clears the uterine cavity. Upon completion, the patient is put in a hospital for observation. This is necessary for rapid monitoring of possible complications.

It is easy to make a vacuum abortion. The consequences can be heavier. Since all manipulations are done blindly, there is a risk of leaving a fetal egg inside the uterus. And this leads to inflammation and development of sepsis. Therefore, upon completion, it is important to conduct ultrasound. Another possible complication is a violation of the hormonal background. Since during conception begins the reorganization of the body and the preparation for the bearing of the fetus, both medicamentous, and surgical, and vacuum abortions disrupt this process. With an unfavorable outcome, everything can end in infertility. There may be discharge with blood and moderate pain in the abdomen.

What should I do before I have a vacuum abortion? Reviews about the clinic read. Do not skimp. On how to intervene, your health depends. In particular, the opportunity to have children. One mistake, and you are forever barren. So do not neglect the choice of doctor and hospital. And remember that the earlier the abortion is done, the less the consequences for the body.

Both surgical and vacuum abortions negatively affect a woman's health, but the latter is considered much less traumatic. It does not use metal tools (except curette). Therefore, the danger of over-cleaning the endometrium tends to zero. And this means a small risk of developing miscarriages in the future.
