What is MTP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy)?
MTP, or Medical Termination of Pregnancy, refers to the termination of pregnancy through medical or surgical methods in a safe and legal manner. It is performed to end an unwanted or unintended pregnancy and is governed by specific laws and guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of the woman.
How is MTP Performed (Medical & Surgical)?
MTP can be performed using medical or surgical methods, depending on factors such as the duration of pregnancy, the woman's health status, and her preference:
- Medical MTP: In early pregnancy (up to 10 weeks gestation), medical MTP involves taking medication (such as mifepristone and misoprostol) under medical supervision to induce abortion and expel the contents of the uterus.
- Surgical MTP: In later stages of pregnancy (after 10 weeks gestation), surgical MTP, also known as dilation and evacuation (D&E), involves a surgical procedure to empty the uterus using suction and instruments.
Who is a Candidate for MTP (Medical & Surgical)?
Women facing an unwanted pregnancy or those with medical conditions that pose a risk to their health or the fetus may be candidates for MTP. However, eligibility for MTP depends on various factors, including the gestational age of the pregnancy, medical history, and local laws and regulations governing abortion services.
What is the Recovery Process Like After MTP (Medical & Surgical)?
The recovery process after MTP varies depending on the method used and individual factors. After medical MTP, women may experience cramping, bleeding, and other side effects similar to a miscarriage, which typically resolve within a few days. After surgical MTP, women may experience cramping, bleeding, and discomfort, and recovery may take a few days to a week.
