To be or not to be, that is the question!
Abortion, that is, termination of pregnancy, means ending the current pregnancy. In other words, it is the technical removal of the gestational tissues inside the uterus.
Abortion can be performed after the gestational sac is seen inside the uterus (4-5 weeks at the earliest). Although abortion is defined as aborting a child, only the gestational sac has formed in 5 weeks, and the fetus and heartbeat have not yet formed. In pregnancies between 5-6 weeks, no embryo or heartbeat can be seen on USG yet. If the abortion is performed before there are any signs of physical revival in the fetus, the negative psychological impact on the woman who undergoes the abortion will be less.
Abortion is one of the operations we perform most frequently. Just as it is applied to unwanted pregnancies, the curettage method is also used to both stop bleeding and send samples to pathology for diagnosis in cases where the baby's heartbeat stops in a desired pregnancy, excessive bleeding in cases of miscarriage, or excessive bleeding outside pregnancy. Apart from these, abortion is also performed for medical reasons such as remaining pieces in the uterus, polyps and uterine biopsy.
Does abortion cause infertility?
The most feared aspect of the abortion procedure is not being able to get pregnant again. This risk is thought to increase when the first pregnancy is terminated by abortion. However, this thought is not correct. When performing an abortion, we use the vacuum aspiration method without the need for scraping as in the past. In this case, since the functional layer of the uterus is not damaged, abortion does not pose a risk for subsequent pregnancies. After the early week vacuum abortion procedure to end an unwanted pregnancy, almost all healthy women who follow the doctor's recommendations can easily become pregnant again whenever they want.
In our country, single women over the age of 18 and married women of their own free will can decide to have an abortion together with their spouses. . In our country, abortion is performed legally up to 10 weeks.
