Patient's question:
My friend is four months pregnant, and her boyfriend happens to be marrying her. She can't support the family and the child, so she's planning to have an abortion. Anesthesia-free abortion still causes pain. How is a mid-pregnancy abortion done?Doctor's answer:
1. refers to the surgical method used to terminate early pregnancy, also known as "artificial" termination of early pregnancy. Methods of abortion surgery include vacuum aspiration and curettage, among others.2. Vacuum aspiration involves inserting a hollow tube into the uterine cavity and using negative pressure to suction out the embryonic tissue from the uterus. Curettage, on the other hand, uses forceps to remove large pieces of embryonic tissue from the uterus. Abortion surgery can be performed before 14 weeks of pregnancy. It should be carried out at a local regular hospital.
