  13. During Abortion

  14. Abortion procedure An abortion is a process of discontinuing a pregnancy before it results in the birth of a child. This is also known as pregnancy termination. This can be carried out with medications, depending on how many weeks you have been pregnant for.

  15. Regimen for Abortion pills A medical abortion is done by using a combination of Misoprostol and Mifepristone pills. These pills are FDA approved for ending early pregnancies. The drugs together play a vital role in eliminating the pregnancy parts from the uterus. The optional is surgical method that uses invasive techniques to empty the womb. Following is the regimen of abortion pills:

  16. Infection prevention control • The procedure involves removing embryonic tissues from the uterus, thus it requires approx. 2-3 weeks to fully heal, So its prone to get infected for a time being. • Rinse your hand thoroughly with water before taking pills, especially while consuming it vaginally. This can help you to prevent infections. • Pelvic infection is the commonest complication of pregnancy termination.  • Treatment of Prophylactic antibiotic can reduce the rate of post- abortal sepsis; however the best possible regime is vague. • Especially, patients with bacterial vaginosis and Chlamydia trachomatis infection would seem to be at bigger risk and discovering and treatment of these conditions can lower this risk.

  17. Drug interactions For Anti-Progesterone like Mifepristone and Mifeprex • Some antibiotics and azole anti-fungi drugs may cause side effects. • Taking Anti-coagulants / Corticosteroids with abortion pill causes excessive bleeding • Anticonvulsant medication – they are known to reduce the effectiveness of anti-progesterone • Dietary supplements • Non-prescription drugs • Herbal products

For prostaglandins like Misoprostol and Cytolog • Gastric ulcer treatment medicines like Ranitidine, Omeprazole, Cimetidine, Pantoprazole etc. • Oral corticosteroids – Dexamethasone and Prednisone • Antibiotics – Amoxicillin, Moxifloxacin and Clarithromycin • Blood Coagulants/ Blood thinners – Heparin, Coumadin and Warfarin etc. • Avoid the above given medication during the abortion procedure as the drugs may interact negatively.

  19. Overdose An overdose of abortion pills can cause seizures, extreme dizziness, and spasmodic/moderate heartbeats. In case, if you take any overdose get in touch with a healthcare provider right away. Also, try not to miss the dosage.

  20. Post-Abortion

  21. Follow – up • 14 days after the abortion, you will need to go to doctor for a follow-up visit. • Meet with the doctor for a pregnancy test and ultrasound, and review how you have been feeling since your procedure. • The last part of the medical abortion procedure is to confirm with an ultrasound that you passed the pregnancy. It is very significant because the pills you took can result into birth defects if the pregnancy carried forward. At this visit, women will be given a birth control method if desired.

  22. Post abortion contraceptive discussion It is necessary that use of contraception is discussed with your doctor to prevent further unplanned pregnancies. Here are some of the common questions one must ask doctor about contraception after abortion. • What contraception is right for me? • When should I start taking the contraceptive pills? • How soon after an abortive procedure, can one become pregnant? • Is my method of birth control is making me bleed? • I haven’t had my menstrual cycle yet- do I need to use a contraception?

  23. Post-abortion diet for fast recovery • Abortion, be it medical or surgical can take a toll on one’s body. • During the pregnancy the body needs nutrition to support the fetus and when it is terminated, vaginal bleeding occurs. • Due to the bleeding, various vitamins [B12, B9. B2], iron and riboflavin are lost from the body. • A specific diet needs to be followed, so that the body can regain the nutritional value. • Protein rich food • Calcium rich products • Iron rich foods • Fruits, Vegetables • Grains

  24. Pregnancy/ Infection/ Sexual activity after abortion procedure • You may resume your usual activity as you feel prepared, but avoid strenuous exercise or heavy physical activities for few days • You are starting with the birth control, ask your doctor as when to start it. For at least two weeks, only make use of sanitary pads. • Do not insert anything inside the genital area for at least 2 full weeks. Doing so will avert the danger of infection as the body recovers itself. • Do not take hot tubs baths, or no swimming. • If unprotected intercourse occurs 8 or more days after a pregnancy termination then contraceptive pill Plan B is best begun during the week after the abortion.
