SURGICAL PROCEDURES

In-Clinic Services

In a clinical environment, such as an abortion clinic or sometimes a hospital, a qualified medical practitioner performs a surgical abortion.

Dilation and evacuation (D&E) and vacuum aspiration are the two primary surgical abortion techniques. When compared to D&E, vacuum aspiration is most often employed up to 16 weeks following your last menstruation.

Everything you need to know about Surgical procedures

Vacuum Aspirations

According to the provider Planned Parenthood, vacuum aspiration abortions are the most prevalent kind performed in clinics.

Your uterus will be gently suctioned clean throughout this process. Although it usually isn’t unpleasant, your uterus will contract when the tissue is removed, which might cause some discomfort.

The process takes 5 to 10 minutes. To be sure the abortion was successful, you may need to remain in the clinic for a few hours.

Dilation and evacuation (D&E)

D&E is often used a little later in pregnancy. Vacuum aspiration, forceps, and dilatation and curettage (D&C) are all combined in this procedure.

To begin, the medical professional opens (or dilates) your cervix in order to make it simpler to eliminate the pregnant tissue. To aid with it, they could prescribe misoprostol and/or mifepristone, drugs that help soften the uterus and make it contract.

Following that, they will suck out the uterus with a tube, remove the fetus and placenta with forceps, and scrape the uterine lining using a tool called a curette.

This operation will be performed in a hospital or a clinic. Although a D&E may be fairly uncomfortable, your doctor can give you numbing medications or local anaesthetic to minimize pain, and they’ll probably also offer you prescription painkillers to take home.

In most cases, the process is finished in within 30 minutes. You can leave the clinic the same day, but like with many procedures, you may need to stay for a bit to make sure everything went well.

What about abortions in the second or third trimester?

People most commonly opt for abortions later in pregnancy if they’ve learned of severe health complications affecting the fetus, developed severe health complications themselves, or were denied an abortion earlier on.

If you need an abortion later in pregnancy, you’ll likely have a D&E procedure. It may take place over 2 days and require multiple visits to a provider. You will probably receive general anesthesia.

Complications are still rare, and later-term abortions are considered safe and effective with no risk of affecting your future fertility. Ref
