Looking through the information on medical abortion, I was simply horrified! The Internet is literally full of offers of various private clinics, which guarantee an abortion faster, better, safer than in other similar institutions. They even carry out PROMOTIONS! It "killed" me completely.
Today, abortion is offered, like any other product on the market, for example, detergent: come, it's cheaper with us! or, we have a spring promotion: two abortions for the price of one! There is no point in lamenting about “where are we going” and “what is happening in the world.” But, I want to say that this information is available to everyone, without exception, and teenage girls, including those who are now afraid of nothing.
I will no longer develop this topic, so as not to read you notations.
However, it often happens that adult aunts need a procedure such as medical abortion. Naturally, since it happened, the most reliable and less dangerous method of terminating an unwanted pregnancy is precisely medical abortion.
Further I want to talk about the positive and negative side of this procedure, which is easy at first glance.
Positive aspects and advantages over surgical interventions.
The advantages are obvious, because tablets are used for the abortion procedure, which help to separate the fetus from the uterine wall and provoke spontaneous miscarriage. In this case, the possibility of infection of the uterine cavity, damage to its walls and profuse bleeding is completely excluded, in contrast to surgical abortion, where all this is possible as a complication of the procedure.
It is also positive that a woman can return to her normal rhythm of life on the same day. Naturally, she will have to go through a gynecologist several times after an abortion, but if everything is fine, then she may well consider herself a healthy person.
Negative aspects and consequences of medical abortion.
The biggest disadvantage of this procedure can be considered the development in some cases of secondary infertility in women. Of course, drug manufacturers claim that this rarely happens, but the fact is what happens. This is a consequence of a hormonal malfunction in a woman’s body, since all drugs that carry out medical abortion contain a very large dose of hormones that suppress prolactins (normally produced during pregnancy), and as a result, women’s menstrual cycle is disturbed after an abortion, sometimes there may be no periods over several cycles.
Preparations and methods.
To date, the following drugs are most often used in Russia:
- Mifepriston (Russia)
- Mifegin (France)
There are a large number of cheaper analogues of these drugs, but you should know that the cheaper the drug, the worse its quality and the lower the probability of a positive outcome.
Now about the method itself. As soon as you find out about pregnancy and decide that it is not a “joyful event in your life” for you, you should immediately seek medical help. Since the terms of medical abortion are short and make no more than 45 days from the moment of conception. After this period, you will no longer be allowed to carry out this procedure, and other abortion methods will be offered, for example, vacuum extraction of the fetus.
If you meet the deadlines, then after a medical examination and all the tests, you will be asked to take the drug under the supervision of a gynecologist, after which you must be left in the hospital for at least 4-6 hours to monitor the condition. In the future, you will need to undergo a follow-up ultrasound (this is necessary!) To make sure that the abortion is complete, and visit your gynecologist a couple of times.
There are different reviews of women about medical abortion, it’s all individual, and you don’t need to read other people's opinions, because this is your life and the life of, possibly, your unborn child.
