Pristyn Care gynecologists are some of the most trusted OB-GYNs for safe abortion in Chennai. All come with a master/ diploma in gynecology and obstetrics and are licensed to do abortion by both methods- medicine and D&C. With an average experience of 15+ years, most of our doctors also specialize in critical care cases, such as missed abortion, removal of ectopic pregnancy, or molar pregnancy. etc.

Trust us for a 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 an abortion. 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.

For abortion, it is necessary to confirm that the woman is over 18+, that the reason for abortion falls under the MTP guidelines and that the pregnancy is less than 20 weeks. Therefore, the gynecologists center their questions around the same. If these checkers pass, in most cases, your doctor can proceed with the MTP. Note, that your married or unmarried status does not alter your right to abortion. It is equally accessible to all 18+ women despite their marital status.

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

• Which is the best abortion method for me- medical or surgical?
• Could you explain my abortion process to me?
• Are there any pre-care 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?
