What is Surgical Abortion?

A surgical abortion is a medical procedure that ends a pregnancy. A surgical abortion removes the pregnancy (the contents of the fetus in the uterus) through surgery. 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.

Why are you seeking an Abortion?

What happens in surgical abortion?

Surgical abortion is usually a minor operation. Depending upon the duration of the pregnancy, the following types of surgical abortions are performed:

Vacuum Aspiration

  • Vacuum aspiration is performed till 14 weeks of pregnancy.
  • The procedure is performed under either local or general anesthesia.
  • The procedure involves a vacuum source to detach and remove the embryo or the fetus through the cervix.
  • A thin cannula attached to a pump is passed into the uterus. Once the pump is turned on, the tissues of the fetus gently get removed from the uterine wall.

Dilation & Curettage

  • Dilation & Curettage is a quick, bladeless, painless, and ensures complete expulsion with the same-day discharge.
  • First, the doctor gives you the medicine for the dilation of the cervix. This is particularly important for the pregnancy tissue to expel out of the birth canal. It may take 30-40 minutes or more. Then, once the cervix is dilated, the surgeon uses a curettage instrument to remove all the pregnancy tissues out of the uterus. Soon after a few hours, the cervix contracts naturally and the pregnancy is ended without any cuts or sutures.

Induction abortion

  • During the process, the doctor gives you medicine that puts you into labor so that the uterus contracts to release the pregnancy.
  • The doctor may use suction to clear out the uterus. You may have to stay in the hospital for a day as the procedure may take longer.
  • If you experience cramps and severe pain, the doctor may prescribe some sedatives to prevent discomfort.

How to prepare for surgical abortion?

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:

  • Taking your medicines (dilation medicines, pain killer, or any other regular medicines) as prescribed by the doctor
  • Arranging for someone who can drive you home after the surgery as you will not be advised to drive
  • Following
  • Avoiding alcohol and tobacco consumption a day or two before undergoing the procedure
  • Avoiding eating or drinking anything other what is asked by the doctor on the day of your surgery
  • Getting some sanitary pad handy as you are likely to bleed after the surgery
  • Carrying a heating pad or hot water bottle to relieve you of any post-surgery cramps and pain
  • Be at the clinic or hospital at least 2 hours before the surgery

Lastly, but most importantly, be mentally prepared for the abortion. It is important to take it easy!

What to expect after surgical abortion?

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.

  • You may experience sever cramps after the surgical abortion which may last for 2-4 days. Some women experience the cramps for 7-10 days or even longer.
  • Many women experience vaginal bleeding along with abdominal cramps. For some, the bleeding might be minimal, for others, the bleeding might be heavier and include blood clots too. If your bleeding soaks through two or sanitary pads within an hour, consult with your gynecologist without delay.
  • To ease your pain, your gynecologist will prescribe over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers or antibiotics.
  • It may take somewhere around a month or two to come back to normal.
  • There is a slight risk of infection at the surgical site and hence you may be asked to refrain from sex until the doctor says it is okay to resume the same.
  • You may experience bouts of mood swings, depression, nausea, tiredness, vomiting and diarrhea
  • You will be guided how to take a shower (bathing is not advised usually) and the activities you can do and the ones you need to avoid.

Recovery after Surgical Abortion (Abortion Recovery)

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

  • Get someone (a friend or a family person) to take care of you after the procedure. Do not indulge yourself in any strenuous work.
  • Try these to reduce the abdominal cramps:
  • Use a heating pad
  • Gently massage the stomach and the lower back.
  • Over-the-counter pills to relieve pain (seek doctor consultation before)
  • Attend the follow-up consultations to make sure you are doing fine

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.

Who can undergo surgical abortion in India?

As per the Indian Abortion Act, abortion is determined as permissible until the woman is in 20 weeks of pregnancy under the following situations:

  • Continuing the pregnancy may be a health concern for the woman or may cause physical or mental health complications to her or the baby.
  • Abnormal growth of the fetus where a child born could be severely handicapped.
  • Pregnancy due to rape or sexual abuse.
  • Pregnancy due to failure of contraceptive methods

Surgical abortion or in-clinic abortion is permitted at a licensed clinic under the following conditions:

  • Unplanned pregnancy
  • Already have a complete family
  • The parent(s) cannot afford to raise a child
  • There are health problems in the mother which can make pregnancy complicated
  • The fetus has a problem (abnormal growth)
  • Pregnancy is a result of sexual assault
  • Mentally not prepared to raise a child
  • Failure of contraceptive methods

What are the advantages and disadvantages of surgical abortion?

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:

  • Surgical abortion is considered much more effective than medical abortion.
    The procedure has a lower failure rate than terminating a pregnancy with medicines.
  • Surgical abortion can be performed later in pregnancy compared to medical abortion.
  • The procedure is performed in one day and the woman can return home the same day.
  • The intensity of bleeding and cramping is much lesser compared to medical abortion.
  • Surgical abortion involves less bleeding and hence is considered a much safer and feasible treatment procedure for females with anemia (iron deficiency).
  • Recovery after a surgical abortion is quite fast, and in most cases, the woman can resume her normal activities within a day or two.

The disadvantages of surgical abortion weigh much lesser than medical abortion, some of which are:

  • Surgical abortion is more expensive than medical abortion.
  • If not performed by experienced and expert doctors, the procedure may lead to infection at the surgery site.

How to choose a clinic for safe surgical abortion in India?

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:

  • The abortion is performed by trained and qualified healthcare providers.
  • The clinic where the abortion is done, follows standard operating procedures.
  • The clinic is licensed for abortion under the MTP Act of India, and the gynceologists are certified to perform abortions.
  • The doctors and the staff are well trained and have performed multiple safe abortions.

Ethical grounds

On ethical grounds, abortion is considered safe, if:

  • The clinic as well as the doctors, are committed to protecting the confidentiality of the patients.
  • No discrimination of any kind is made by the doctor of the clinic.
  • The right to the reproductive health of every woman is considered by the medical practitioners of the clinic.
  • The doctors at the clinic do not conduct sex-selective abortions.
  • The team considers the physical, mental and emotional well-being of the woman.

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.

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 pregnancy is a result of sexual assault such as rape.
  • If the pregnancy is harmful for the physical and mental health of the mother or the baby.
  • If there is a possibility that the baby may develop physical abnormalities after birth.
  • If the pregnancy is a result of contraceptive failure.

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.

What is the Surgical Abortion cost in India?

Is abortion legal in India?

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.

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?

  • 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?
