What is Surgical abortion or D&C?

Surgical abortion is most commonly done procedure in India. It is a very safe procedure when performed by a trained medical professional. A surgical abortion involves the removal of the pregnancy via the vagina by surgical means. Your cervix needs to be prepared I.e ripened before undergoing this procedure. I forgot to mention in video to carry sanitary napkins when you go to the hospital. Some complications of surgical abortion which I didn’t discuss in the video are: Haemorrhage: Excessive bleeding can happen in case of incomplete abortion. Please report to your doctor. Infection: It can be due to incomplete abortion or previous STDs. You will be given a course of antibiotics to avoid infection. In case of high grade fever report to your doctor. Injury to uterus or cervix: Very rarely the Instrument may perforate the uterus and cause injury to the intestine or infection in the abdomen leading to peritonitis. Sometimes a repetitive D&C can damage the cervix leading to short or Incompetent cervix with risk of abortion in upcoming pregnancies. If you have any queries then please put in the comment section.
