Characteristics of various abortion methods

Artificial abortion, also known as artificial abortion, refers to the termination of pregnancy by surgery. Common methods of artificial abortion include aspiration, forceps curettage, induction of labor, micro-tube visual artificial abortion, etc. The characteristics of the above methods are as follows:

1. Uterine aspiration

Also known as negative pressure aspiration, it is suitable for those who are pregnant within 10 weeks and those who are pregnant with an IUD. It can remove and insert the IUD at the same time. Short-term complications include bleeding, residue, infection, vacuum, cervical injury, perforation, and abortion syndrome. Long-term complications include intrauterine adhesions, secondary infertility, endometrial damage leading to amenorrhea, etc. Repeated use can increase risk factors.

It is suitable for women who are 11 to 14 weeks pregnant. At this time, the fetus is already large, and the operation is more complicated and must be performed in hospital. Because there is more amniotic fluid in the fetal sac at this time, amniotic fluid embolism may occur during the operation, endangering the patient's life.

3. Induction of labor

Most women who undergo induced labor have missed the best time for abortion or have problems with the mother or fetus. At this time, the placenta has been formed, the fetus is larger, and the bones are harder. The cervix must be fully dilated during delivery, so induced labor is equivalent to a birth, including water bag induced labor, levano induced labor, etc.

4. Microtubule Visual Abortion

Also known as endometrial micro-cannula abortion, it refers to a surgery that uses a superconducting visual technique to use negative pressure to perform targeted adsorption of the villi through a micro-cannula through the uterine cavity tissue suction catheter within 49 days of pregnancy. It does not damage normal tissue, reduces the patient's pain, and has the advantages of less bleeding, higher safety, and quick recovery.
