Abortion consultation

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy before the fetus can live independently outside the mother's womb. This medical procedure can be performed through medication or surgery and is usually considered when there are health risks to the mother, issues with fetal development, or personal circumstances. Pregnancy typically ceases by taking medicines prescribed by a physician or through a minor surgical intervention known as dilation and curettage (D&C).

Symptoms indicating an incomplete or problematic abortion can include heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, fever, and unusual vaginal discharge. It is crucial to monitor these symptoms closely, as they could signify infections or complications that require immediate medical attention.

Treatment for an incomplete or unsuccessful abortion may involve medical or surgical procedures. Medications like misoprostol may be prescribed to expel remaining tissue, or a surgical procedure such as vacuum aspiration may be performed to clear the uterine contents safely. Following the procedure, rest, hydration, and follow-up medical appointments are important to ensure the woman's full recovery and to address any physical or emotional aftercare needs.
