Abortion Write for Us

Abortion Write for Us – An abortion occurs when a pregnancy is terminated so that it does not lead to the birth of a child. Sometimes this is called ‘termination of pregnancy.

BPAS provides care for women experiencing unplanned or unwanted pregnancies. In addition, we treat thousands of women who have decided abortion is the correct choice for them and provide advice and counselling to women who don’t know what to do next.

There are two types of abortion treatments, “medical” and “surgical” abortion:

1. Medical abortion: The abortion pill

Some women feel that medical abortion is a more natural process. There are two types of medical abortion

the abortion pill (also called early medical abortion) up to 10 weeks

It involves taking medicine to reason an initial miscarriage (women experience cramping, pain and heavy bleeding).

Without surgery or anesthesia.

Abortion pills from 10 weeks to 24 weeks

It involves taking medicine to tighten the uterus and expel the pregnancy.

2 visits to the clinic are needed

Sometimes an overnight stay is required on the second trip – check when booking.

2. Surgical abortion

This type of abortion is known as surgical abortion. And it involves a minor and quick operation. There are two types of surgical abortion:

Vacuum aspiration up to 15 weeks

It removes the uterus by gentle suction.

It can be performed with a local anesthetic up to 14 weeks of pregnancy. The faster recovery time for this option means you can leave the clinic unsupervised and drive sooner.

It can be performed with sedation (rest and sleep) for up to 15 weeks.

One clinic visit, and you go home the same day.

Dilatation and clearing between 15 and 24 weeks

It is done with general an aesthesia.

One clinic visit, and you go home the same day.

Important Points:

Abortion is a common health intervention. However, it is safe when performed by a person with appropriate and necessary skills for the duration of pregnancy, using the method recommended by the World Health Organization.

Six out of 10 unintended pregnancies end in induced abortion.

Therefore, 45% of the abortions are unsafe. And 97% occur in developing countries. Therefore, the cause of maternal death and illness is unsafe abortion and yet preventable. Thus, this leads to mental and physical health complications—the social and financial burdens on women and the health system.

Abortion care is critical to public health and human rights issues. Unfortunately, access to safe, affordable, and timely completion leads to abortions.
