Pristyn Care gynecologists are some of the best OB-GYNs for MTP in Bangalore. Our doctors specialize in both medical and surgical termination of pregnancy and are particularly reputed for their judgment-free and professional approach to pregnancy termination.

Gynecologists specializing in MTP are usually doctors with MD/MS in Gynecology and Obstetrics. In case of termination of an ectopic pregnancy, a laparoscopic gynecologist may be preferred. These gynecologists have an additional DMAS/ FMAS (Diploma or Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgeries.)

Yes, an MBBS doctor can perform MTP. However, unlike OBGYNs, there are a few additional compliances they must adhere to. That is, they must have done an MTP house job for more than 6 months during their MBBS training, or they must have worked at a nursing home more for than 1 year. Note, that they must also be MTP registered.

By law, a gynecologist can perform MTP only under specific circumstances. To confirm the same, the doctor mandatorily asks three of the following questions:

• What is your age?
• What is your reason for pregnancy termination?
• Do you have any ID proof?

If you are over 18+, your reason for pregnancy termination falls under the MTP guidelines, and if your pregnancy is less than 20 weeks, in most cases, your doctor can proceed with the MTP.

Before undergoing MTP, consider asking the following questions to your gynecologist:

• Which is the best abortion method for me- medical or surgical?
• Could you explain the abortion process to me?
• Are there any specific instructions I should follow before the abortion process?
• What will the recovery be like after pregnancy termination?
• When will I be able to resume office?
• When can I expect my next period?
