Abortion - Dr. Muzaffer Uçarer İstanbul Bahçeşehir

What is Abortion?

Abortion is a term used to mean the removal of tissues inside the uterus. However, it is mostly used in the sense of termination of pregnancy among the people. In the Republic of Turkey, legal abortion is carried out in pregnancies up to the 10th week. In order to terminate larger pregnancies, it can be done with the decision of the health board due to the use of medication, the danger of the pregnancy to the mother’s life or the disability in the baby. We pay great attention to patient privacy and safety.

In Which Situations Is Abortion Performed?

Abortion is performed for the termination of an unwanted pregnancy, as well as for the termination of a desired but unhealthy pregnancy. Abortion is also required in cases where the baby’s heartbeat stops, the use of harmful drugs during pregnancy or high-dose radiation exposure, in cases where embryo formation such as empty pregnancy is never seen, or in cases where the continuation of the pregnancy will endanger the mother’s life.

Except for abortion, abortion is performed in women with uterine thickening, when biopsy is required to diagnose uterine cancer, and to stop bleeding and obtain tissue diagnosis in patients presenting with abnormal vaginal bleeding.

How Is Abortion Performed?

Today, abortion is mostly performed using the vacuum aspiration method. This technique is much less damaging than the curette method.

In the abortion technique with vacuum aspiration, disposable sterile cannulas are entered into the uterus through the cervix and pregnancy material is withdrawn with an injector called Karmen, which provides negative pressure. This process is repeated until it is ensured that there is no tissue left inside and takes about 5-6 minutes. The abortion technique is very important and after a serious examination, it is an intervention that should be done by experienced hands in the most suitable and sterile conditions for the mother. Before abortion, detailed information about the procedure should be obtained.

How Long Does Abortion Take?

Abortion is performed on the same day. It is a process that takes about 10-15 minutes. The longer the gestational week, the longer the period. Light dose anesthesia and resting period after the procedure should be taken into consideration by the patient who has undergone abortion with sedation anesthesia. The duration of the procedure is the same in patients who have abortion with this type of anesthesia, but a rest period of 30-60 minutes is given after the procedure.
