Abortion
Abortion treatment is a safe and legal medical procedure used to terminate an unwanted or high-risk pregnancy. It is provided under the supervision of qualified gynecologists in licensed medical facilities, ensuring safety, privacy, and compassionate care.
Medical Abortion – Involves taking prescribed medications (usually Mifepristone and Misoprostol) within the first 7–9 weeks of pregnancy. It is non-invasive and allows the pregnancy to end naturally through bleeding and cramping.
Surgical Abortion – Used for pregnancies beyond 9 weeks or when medical abortion is not suitable. Common methods include Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA), Dilation & Curettage (D&C), and Dilation & Evacuation (D&E), depending on the gestational age.
