Is it possible to provoke a miscarriage, is it safe?

An unwanted pregnancy can lead to significant stress in a woman. Not all mothers accept the future, some decide to have an abortion at home. Let's leave the ethical aspects of this decision for another material, and talk about whether it is safe to terminate a pregnancy with pills.

Gestational age

Gynecologists and obstetricians remind that abortion can be done only in the early stages.

A voluntary abortion is performed if no more than 90 days have passed since conception, a therapeutic abortion - according to the doctor's indications - can be done within 180 days after the conception of the fetus.

Termination of pregnancy at any time is stressful for the body.

What are the types of abortion

There are two ways to terminate a pregnancy, medication and surgical.

Inpatient abortion, as a rule, occurs in two ways, by curettage or by vacuum aspiration.

Gynecologists remind that surgical termination of pregnancy should take place under the supervision of a doctor, at home conditions, not a single doctor will do the operation, the likelihood that an infection will enter the body is too high, there will be sepsis.

Medical termination of pregnancy

If the pregnancy occurred no later than 9 weeks ago, then some drugs can affect the female body in such a way as to terminate an unwanted pregnancy without side effects.

However, a medical abortion can only be performed after consulting a specialist (gynecologist).

Before him, the doctor will advise you to undergo a study to determine the exact date of conception.

Medical abortion pills

Medications for this purpose block progesterone, which is what keeps pregnancy going. Under the influence of the pills, the development of the fetus stops, and the ovum does not attach to the wall of the uterus.

After 48 hours, the patient is prescribed prostaglandins so that the uterus begins to contract, which is why the uterus is cleared, miscarriage.

About 70-80% of women choose this method of abortion.

As a rule, a correctly performed medical abortion does not affect a woman's reproductive function. Moreover, he is psychologically gentle. But gynecologists insist that you must first visit a doctor.
