A surgical abortion is a good option for anyone who wants to terminate the pregnancy is a safe clinical or hospital setting. Surgical abortions remove the fetus and placenta from the mother’s womb.

    A surgical abortion, also known as ‘suction aspiration abortion’ is a one day procedure, done at a clinic or hospital, under local anesthesia. Surgical abortion is a viable treatment for women who are long way into their pregnancy or for those whose pregnancy cannot be terminated by abortion pills. The MTP Law in India permits abortion through surgery only till 24th week of pregnancy.

    To settle down with the emotional changes, take adequate time off work. Speak to family members and friends who you trust. Don’t carry the feeling only within yourself.

    Recovery after a surgical abortion is not tough but might not be easy too. But, it is different from person to person. Recovery may take longer for late-term abortions. If complications develop, recovery can take several weeks.

    Abortion for Unmarried Women in India - What the MTP Act says?

    The Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act (MTP), 1971, allowed medical abortion up to 9 weeks of pregnancy and surgical abortions up to 20 weeks of pregnancy. But, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (Amendment) Bill, 2020, increased the time within which a woman can undergo an abortion and also regulated the conditions under which the surgical procedure could be carried out. While the MTP Act, 1971 required the opinion of one doctor if the abortion was done within 12 weeks of pregnancy and two doctors for abortion within 12-20 weeks, the amended bill allows advice of one doctor if abortion is done within 20 weeks of pregnancy and advice of two doctors in certain cases between 20-24 weeks of pregnancy.

    The amendment in the bill also recognizes that unmarried women are entitled to seek a legal abortion.

    Unmarried Indian women are legally entitled to receive a medical abortion. However, those below the age group of 18 years require consent from their guardians. Unmarried women can seek legal termination of pregnancy under the following circumstances.

    If the woman is unmarried and 18 years or older, the doctor needs only her consent in writing. If the unmarried woman is below 18, the doctor needs written consent from a guardian before proceeding with the abortion.

    FAQs around Abortion

    Is surgical abortion painful?

    Abortion may cause some pain and cramping, but the discomfort is usually manageable. However, the experience of an abortion varies for different individuals. The level of pain and other side effects a person may experience greatly depends on the type of abortion and the patient’s overall health. In a medical abortion, women describe the experience as being similar to having heavy periods and cramps. In vacuum aspiration surgical abortion, a woman may experience a dragging and pulling sensation during the process. In dilation and evacuation, a woman may experience mild cramping for 1 or 2 days.

    Is abortion legal in India?

    As per the Supreme Court of India, all women, including those who’re not married, can get an abortion for up to 24 weeks. Abortions have been legal in India since 1971, but over the period of time, authorities have made strict rules for who can terminate a pregnancy. This was because of the abortions of millions of female fetuses, which lead to a terribly skewed gender ratio in the country. Last year, the government amended the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act (MTP) to allow women to seek abortions between 20 and 24 weeks. The list included rape survivors, minors, women with mental disabilities, women with fetuses that had major abnormalities, and married women whose marital status changed during pregnancy.

    Is abortion legal in India for unmarried?

    The Supreme Court of India grants rights to unmarried women who wish to abort the pregnancy, thus making it clear that the marital status of women can not be a ground to deny or allow them access to safe abortion. The Supreme Court said that even single and unmarried women have the right to abort a pregnancy under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act till 24 weeks of pregnancy.

    How much bleeding is normal after an abortion?

    Abortion is a safe and effective way to end a pregnancy when done legally by a trained physician. Cramping and bleeding is normal after the abortion. The severity and duration of these symptoms is different for every woman and depends on the type of abortion the woman has had and the term of the pregnancy. Most women are likely to experience heavy bleeding for several hours following a medical or surgical abortion. In some cases women experience blood clots for a couple of weeks.  But, women passing large clots and soaking through two or more pads an hour must consult a gynaecologist and seek emergency help.

    What if I am still pregnant after the surgery?

    Surgical abortion is an effective procedure that completely removes the fetus from the uterine lining. Once any of the surgical abortion methods is performed, you shall no longer remain pregnant as the fetus gets completely detached and destroyed. But in rare cases, if any remnants of the fetus still remain within the uterus, the gynecologist shall repeat the D&E procedure to evacuate all the remaining tissues.

    What is incomplete abortion?

    An incomplete abortion is the partial expulsion of the components of pregnancy within the first 20 weeks. An incomplete abortion may be identified by vaginal bleeding accompanied by abdominal or pelvic pain.

    What are the possible risks and complications of surgical abortion?

    The risks and complications in surgical abortion are very low with not more than 3 percent, which depends on how far the woman has been through in her pregnancy. However, reported complications of surgical abortion may include:

    • Infection – Some women experience infection at the surgical site, which generally is caused due to an incomplete abortion.
    • Hemorrhage – Sometimes, bleeding after surgical abortion might be very heavy in case of which suction curettage of the uterus may be required.
    • Injury to the uterus – The uterine walls are quite soft, and sometimes, using surgical instruments may perforate the uterus.
    • Injury to the cervix – Stretching the cervix too much during the procedure may injure the cervix.

    Which is better - medical or surgical abortion?

    The effectiveness of surgical abortion is much higher when compared to medical abortion. Surgical abortion is performed under the complete supervision of a trained gynecologist and medical staff. However, if cost is to be considered, medical termination of pregnancy is much less expensive than surgical abortion.

    How to abort an unplanned pregnancy?

    Unplanned pregnancies are quite common, and several women choose to abort them. There are two ways to abort any pregnancy- surgical and medical. However, the type of abortion depends on the stage of pregnancy and the health condition of the woman. Surgical abortion is suggested if the woman has been pregnant for over 12 weeks. Whereas a medical abortion is suggested when a woman is less than 9 weeks pregnant. The doctor performs an ultrasound and blood test before the abortion to understand the term of pregnancy and determine which type of abortion would be most suitable.

    How to abort a pregnancy of 4 weeks?

    Doctors suggest medical abortion to abort a pregnancy of 4 weeks. Mifepristone is usually recommended in medical abortion. It stops the hormone progesterone from working due to which the uterus lining breaks down and the pregnancy cannot continue. Your healthcare provider will prescribe the right dosage and when to take it.

    How to abort a pregnancy of 5 weeks?

    Medical abortion is the most effective way to abort a pregnancy of 5 weeks. Doctors recommend Mifepristone medicine to stop the hormone progesterone from working. This helps in breaking the uterus lining and terminating the pregnancy.

    How soon after an abortion can I get pregnant?

    You can conceive again really quickly after an abortion. An egg can be released from the ovary as soon as 8 days after the surgical abortion which means you could become pregnant again before your next period.
