Termination of Pregnancy (ToP), also referred to as abortion or ’ending a pregnancy’, is a medical procedure that can be used to terminate a pregnancy. It is generally performed to end a pregnancy at any stage provided the fetus is not more than 28 weeks old. ToP can be performed via medical and/or surgical procedure, depending on how far along the pregnancy is.
According to the laws governing ToP in city, any woman who is more than 18 years of age and has a valid identity proof can terminate her pregnancy. Some other criteria for eligibility may include:
Depending on the gestation period of the pregnancy, there are multiple options available for the termination of pregnancy, including medical abortion, surgical abortion, and vacuum aspiration. Our counsel will explain the process in detail during your consultation with Dr. Ruchita.
Medical Abortion is a process wherein a patient is administered prescribed medication over a period of time in order to terminate the pregnancy. This procedure is generally recommended in earlier stages of pregnancy.
Surgical Abortion is a procedure wherein the pregnancy is ended with the help of minor surgery. For this procedure, anesthesia or sedation is employed. This method is generally recommended if the medical abortion is unsuitable due to any reason.
Vacuum Aspiration is usually performed in the second trimester of pregnancy. In this method, the cervix is opened and a local or general anesthetic is given before a hand-held vacuum device is inserted to remove the contents from the uterus. This procedure takes around 10 minutes.
During the procedure, you will be asked to empty your bladder and then given general anesthetic that makes you feel relaxed and sleepy. When you wake up, the procedure would be over. After the procedure, you may be given antibiotics and any other medications that you may need in order to prevent any infection. Our counselors will explain the entire procedure in detail beforehand.
Like any other medical procedure, ToP too carries certain risks. Some of the most commonly reported side effects of ToP are:
Additionally, there are certain potential risks and complications associated with ToP such as infection, incomplete abortion and increased possibility of developing an ectopic pregnancy later in the future. It is important to learn about these risks and complications beforehand so that you can make an informed decision about your ToP procedure.
The recovery process will depend on the type of ToP procedure undergone. Generally, it takes a few days to overcome the side-effects of the procedure. Sufficient rest is needed for the uterus to heal. It is advisable to avoid any type of strenuous activities such as sexual intercourse, heavy lifting, and strenuous exercises during the initial days of recovery.
The cost of the ToP procedure varies depending on the type of procedure, medications, type of clinic, and other factors. At Dr. Ruchita’s clinic, we have different packages that include both the procedure and the medications. Our financial counselors will guide you through the financing process so that you can select the right package to suit your needs.
Before your first consultation with Dr. Ruchita, it is important to gather as much information as possible about the ToP procedure. You should also be prepared to answer some questions that will help us understand your health and personal circumstances better. Being aware of the potential outcomes and risks associated with ToP can help you make the right decision.
