Before your surgical abortion, your gynecologist is likely to explain you everything about the procedure during the consultation. After analyzing your health and the status of your pregnancy, the doctor may also give you some instructions on how to prepare for the abortion.
Few things that you need to take care of while preparing for the day of your surgical abortion may include:
Lastly, but most importantly, be mentally prepared for the abortion. It is important to take it easy!
The post-surgery situation is different for every woman; while someone might return to daily work life within a day or two, others might take a longer time.
In the days following an abortion, a woman may feel drained and tired, physically and mentally. Hence, both physical and mental care is necessary post-abortion.
Physical Care
Emotional Care
After having an abortion, a person’s progesterone and estrogen levels gradually drop down, which causes low moods. Anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders are common mental issues during the post-abortion phase.
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.
As per the Indian Abortion Act, abortion is determined as permissible until the woman is in 20 weeks of pregnancy under the following situations:
Surgical abortion or in-clinic abortion is permitted at a licensed clinic under the following conditions:
According to medical reports, surgical abortion is successful in more than 98 percent of cases, while only in 2 percent of the cases, women may need another intervention or a repeated surgical procedure. Advantages of surgical abortion may include:
The disadvantages of surgical abortion weigh much lesser than medical abortion, some of which are:
For a safe surgical abortion, the first and the most important thing is to choose a safe and licensed clinic for abortion. A clinic is considered safe for abortion if it complies on the following medical, ethical and social grounds:
Medical grounds:
On medical grounds, abortion is considered safe, if:
Ethical grounds
On ethical grounds, abortion is considered safe, if:
A certified healthcare centre that meets the above-mentioned criteria can be deemed fit for having a safe abortion. Though a short-termed procedure, if not conducted safely, it can adversely affect the reproductive health of the female and impact her future pregnancies. Hence, choosing a safe clinic for abortion is crucial not just for the procedure but also for a healthy future.
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.
The cost of a surgical abortion varies nationwide. In general, a surgical abortion can cost you anywhere between 10,000 to 30,000 (in INR). This cost generally includes the charges for hospitalization (if required) and postoperative care. The total amount to be paid for a surgical abortion can vary in different parts of the country based on the following factors:

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
After an abortion, most women become very weak, physically and mentally. Due to excessive bleeding, an iron deficiency can occur in the body and may lead to anemia. Apart from this, there may also be a deficiency of calcium, magnesium, carbohydrates, and vitamins in the body. In such cases, women must enrich their diet with the proper nutrients required for the normal functioning of the body. You must incorporate whole grains, folic acid, iron, and vitamin C in your diet for fast recovery after abortion.
Having a surgical abortion does not usually affect or lower the chances of getting pregnant in the future. But if the uterus is injured or if the surgical abortion causes any kind of infection in the womb is not treated properly, it may cause some risk to future pregnancies.
The minimum cost of an abortion can be as low as 5000 INR and can go at a maximum of 25000 INR.
