How to Have a Safe Abortion

Abortion means the termination of pregnancy and is always induced. It is done with medical help and can also happen by default when it is termed as a miscarriage. Many times abortions can go amiss and can happen due to an unsafe approach. It is very important that an abortion is carried out safely for the woman on whom it is taking place.

According to The World Health Organization (WHO) unsafe abortions are those abortions where unskilled individuals work with hazardous equipments and in unhygienic situations. At other times a miscarriage can also be considered to be a type of abortion in itself. There are certain safety steps that you can take when going ahead for an abortion. It is a commonly acknowledged fact that surgically done abortions are safer than the others. This is because surgical abortions are first of all legal and then they are performed by highly trained surgeons under hygienic conditions. But this again only happens only after seven weeks of pregnancy.

People also do  at home, with the help of pills, however they are extremely costly. If you are contemplating having a safe abortion at home, a lot of research and analysis is mandatory. The pills are generally three tablets of mifepristone 200 grams each and then misoprostol 200 mcg each 48 hours later. This should by all means be performed under medical supervision as the chances of health risk can also be there. If the woman is not strong and her body does not function properly then this method can be irksome. This method of abortion triggers a vaginal bleeding and uterine cramping and only a person with a very strong biological function can be able to achieve this. Then prolonged heavy bleeding can mean that the abortion is still incomplete and there are other complications. Hence, it is always advisable to do this sort of abortion under the supervision of a practicing doctor. Also it is highly important that the concerned person makes sure that she is pregnant, or else these strong medicines can have a reverse effect.

The only way that a woman can have a safe abortion is by going for regular checkups to the doctors.  Even if she is planning on doing it in the secrecy of her home, she should by all means confide in at least one medical practitioner. Other than this method the surgery method is safer and acceptable.
