Abortion Care

Abortion care is a fundamental aspect of reproductive healthcare, and access to safe, compassionate services is essential for individuals facing unintended pregnancies. Comprehensive abortion care at Dr. Kiranjeet Kaur’s clinic plays a vital role in providing a supportive environment where individuals can access accurate information, counseling, and medical procedures tailored to their unique needs and circumstances.

Key Facts Related to Abortion

• Six out of every ten unintended pregnancies result in induced abortions.
• Unsafe abortion, though preventable, stands as a significant contributor to maternal deaths and health complications. It poses physical and mental health risks and imposes social and financial burdens on women, communities, and healthcare systems.
• The absence of accessible, timely, affordable, and respectful abortion care represents a critical public health and human rights concern.

Types of Abortion Procedures

There are two primary types of abortion procedures: medication abortion and surgical abortion. Each type has its benefits, risks, and considerations, and the choice between them depends on factors such as gestational age, individual preferences, and medical history.

• Medication Abortion (Medical Abortion): Medication abortion involves using medication to terminate a pregnancy. It is typically performed during the first trimester of pregnancy, up to 10 weeks gestation. The procedure consists of taking two drugs or abortion pills: mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for maintaining the pregnancy, while misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue. Medication abortion is a safe and effective option for many individuals and can be done in the privacy of their own homes.
• Surgical Abortion: Surgical abortion involves a minor surgical procedure to remove the pregnancy tissue from the uterus.

There are different types of surgical abortion procedures, including vacuum aspiration (also known as suction abortion) and dilation and evacuation (D&E). Vacuum aspiration is typically performed during the first trimester of pregnancy and involves using suction to remove the pregnancy tissue from the uterus.

Dilation and evacuation are usually performed during the second trimester and involve dilating the cervix and using instruments to remove the pregnancy tissue. Surgical abortion is a safe and standard procedure that can be performed in a clinic or hospital setting.
