#01. ABORTION METHODS, REALLY NO SIDE EFFECTS?

First Trimester Abortion Methods


The suction method (Suction curettage)

In the first 1-3 months of fetal life, abortion performed by suction method. Technique is the most widely performed for teen pregnancy. Powerful vacuum machine powered with a sharp tip is inserted into the uterus through the cervix is deliberately expanded. Suction dismembers the body developing baby and the placenta (placenta) from the uterus wall. Results sucking blood, amniotic fluid, the placenta and fetal body parts collected in bottles that are connected with this vacuum. Rigor and prudence in carrying out this method needs to be maintained so as to avoid tearing of the uterus as a result of liposuction that can result in severe bleeding which sometimes ended in a hysterectomy. Inflammation can occur easily if there are the remains of part of the placenta or fetus remains in the womb. This is most often the case, known as post-abortion complications.

Method D & C - Dilatation and scrapings

In this technique, the cervix is opened or expanded by force to insert a sharp steel blade. Fetal body part is cut into pieces and removed and the placenta is scraped off the uterine wall. Blood lost during this method does more than the suction method. So is the tearing of the uterus and inflammation most often occurs. This method is not the same as the method of the D & C done in women with symptoms of uterine disease (such as abnormal uterine bleeding, menstruation, etc.). Frequent complications include rupture of the uterine wall which can lead to the bladder.

ABORTION METHODS
Curette tool is inserted into the uterus to begin to scrape the fetus, placenta, and amniotic fluid from the uterus.


Mifepristone (RU486) Pill

Society named it "French Abortion Pill". This technique uses two synthetic hormones, namely mifepristone and misoprostol to chemically induce gestational age of 5-9 weeks. In the United States, the procedure is undertaken with strict oversight of abortion clinics requires at least 3 times to the clinic. On the first visit, the woman is given carefully. If no contra-indications (such as heavy smoking, asthma, high blood pressure, obesity, etc.) which can even cause death in a pregnant woman, then he is given a pill RU 486.

RU 486 is working to block the progesterone hormone that functions to keep track of vital nutrients to the placenta remains smooth . Due to this blockade , the fetus does not get his food and be hungry again . On the second visit , the first 36-48 hours after the visit , the woman is given an injection of the hormone prostaglandin , usually misoprostol , which initiates uterine contractions and make the fetus from the uterus . Most women enter the uterus in 4 hours while waiting at the clinic , but 30 % of them experienced this at home , at work , on public transport , or in other places , there is also a need to wait until 5 days later . A third visit approximately 2 weeks after the abortion , to determine whether the abortion has taken place . If not , then surgery should be done (5-10 percent of all cases) . There are some serious cases of the use of RU 486 , as abortions occur until 44 days later , severe bleeding , dizziness , vomiting , pain and death . At least one woman in France died while others suffered heart attacks.

In the United States, the use of RU 486 trial was held in 1995. An unknown woman almost died after losing half his blood volume and ultimately requires emergency surgery. Long-term effects of RU 486 is not known for certain, but there are reasons to believe say that RU 486 could affect not only the ongoing pregnancy, but also may affect subsequent pregnancies, the possibility of spontaneous miscarriage and defects in the baby.

Injections of Methotrexate (MTX)

Procedure with MTX same as RU 486, though the drug is injected into the body. MTX was originally used to suppress the rapid growth of the cells, as in the case of cancer, by neutralizing folic acid necessary for cell division. MTX was also the fast growing trophoblastoid - the membrane that surrounds the embryo which is also a forerunner of the placenta. Trophoblastoid not only serves as a 'buffer system of life' for the developing fetus, taking oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood and remove carbon dioxide and other waste products, but also produces the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which signals the corpus luteum to continue producing progesterone necessary to prevent breakdown uterus and miscarriages.

MTX integration of destroying the environment that sustains , protects and fosters the growth of the fetus , and because of lack of nutrition , the fetus being dead . 3-7 days later , misoprostol tablet inserted into the pregnant woman 's genitals to trigger the release of the fetus from the womb . Sometimes , this happens a few hours after the inclusion of misoprostol , but often also occurs the need for additional doses of misoprostol . This makes the way of abortion with methotrexate can last for weeks . The pregnant woman will get bleeding for weeks (42 days in a case study) , even heavily . May abort anytime - at home , in the bus, at work, in the supermarket , and so on . Women were found to still contain the next visit to the abortion clinic , would not want to have surgery to remove the fetus . Even doctors who work at abortion clinics are often reluctant to give an injection of MTX because MTX is actually toxic and side effects occur unpredictable .

Side effects were noted in the case studies were headache, pain, diarrhea, blurred vision, and the more serious is bone marrow depression, blood deficiency, liver damage, and lung disease. In packs of MTX, the manufacturer writes a stern warning that MTX is useful for the treatment of cancer, some cases of arthritis and psoriasis, "deaths have been reported in people taking MTX", and the plant was suggested that only the doctors who are experienced and knowledgeable about the therapeutic antimetabolic are allowed to use MTX. Although abortion doctors are using MTX, dismissed the side effects of MTX and said low-dose MTX for use in the process of abortion, abortion doctors and others disagree, because the injection of packets used for abortion also contained toxic hazard warnings despite MTX use in low doses.
