Introduction
There are two main types of abortion procedures — medical abortion (using pills) and surgical abortion (minor procedure). Both are safe when performed under expert medical supervision.
1️⃣ Medical Abortion (Abortion Pills)
- Works up to 7–9 weeks of pregnancy.
- Involves prescribed tablets taken under a gynecologist’s guidance.
- No anesthesia or hospitalization required.
- Follow-up scan after 7–10 days to confirm completion.
2️⃣ Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration / D&E)
- Recommended after 9 weeks or when medical abortion fails.
- Performed under local or short general anesthesia.
- Usually completed within 10–15 minutes.
- Patient can go home the same day.
Safety Tip
Avoid taking abortion pills without medical supervision — incomplete abortion or heavy bleeding can occur.
