Abortion, in the simplest term, is the medical procedure to end an unwanted pregnancy mid-gestation. It is a legally sanctioned option in India for both married and unmarried adult women (18+ years), and you do not need your parent’s/ partner’s permission for it. However, it is permissible only under 4 conditions:
Aborting a pregnancy is a very personal decision. This is why our doctors advise counseling first. However, if the woman still decides to terminate her pregnancy, our gynecologists are medically trained and legally licensed to perform the abortion procedure.

Surgical Abortion Procedure
The OB-GYN recommends pelvic ultrasound to confirm the duration and type of pregnancy (such as normal, ectopic pregnancy, or molar pregnancy.) In addition, the OB-GYN also recommends blood and urine tests to check if you are anemic or have any other medical conditions, such as diabetes, high/low blood pressure, or sexually transmitted diseases. This helps the doctor ensure there is no risk of complications during or after abortion.
During the surgical abortion, the OB-GYN uses surgical procedures to remove the embryo from the uterus. During the surgical abortion, the OB-GYN uses a speculum to view inside the vagina and clears the vagina and cervix. Then, the doctor applies numbing medication to the cervix, dilates the cervix with specialized medical equipment, inserts a narrow flexible tube into the uterus, and gently removes the embryo and pregnancy tissue.
In Our Doctor's Word
"Please remember it is your legal right to abort. Do not struggle alone or try aborting at home. It is completely unsafe and the third leading cause of maternal deaths in India. In Fact, traditional methods or home remedies most often result in incomplete abortion and cause serious infections and risk to both- your health and eventual pregnancies. This is also why WHO reports that at least 13 women die everyday in India because of unsafe abortions. So please understand the risks and complications of unsafe abortion and approach a good doctor on time. It is both- your medical and legal right.”

Abortion is a safe method for abortions performed only by skilled gynecologists. Many women and couples choose to go through abortion as a personal choice. Women may choose to undergo abortions if the pregnancy is unplanned, unsupported or if the family is unable to bear the financial and other responsibilities associated with bringing a child into the world.
In some cases, women decide to go for abortions if the pregnancy is harmful for their health. This happens if the woman has diabetes, hypertension, obesity or other medical conditions like ectopic pregnancy (a condition in which the fetus grows inside the fallopian tubes instead of the uterus). Continuing the pregnancy in such cases can have adverse effects on the woman’s reproductive health and can even threaten the woman’s life. Therefore, abortion becomes a necessity in such cases.
