There are only two types of Abortions:

01. Medicinal Abortion- Medicinal Abortion is a non-surgical method performed with medicines (mifepristone and misoprostol) usually done by the patients at home. The first pill mifepristone disrupts the pregnancy. Misoprostol, the second medicine is used at home 24-48 hours later to make the uterus contract and push out the pregnancy and blood. This abortion is very painful for the patients as strong cramping with heavy bleeding and clots are common during the process.

Surgical Abortion- means dilating the opening of the uterus (cervix) and placing a small suction tube into the uterus to remove the fetus and placenta from the uterus. It’s a very safe, simple & painless procedure of five minutes done under the supervision of expert gynaecologist & anesthetist in an operation theatre under short general anesthesia without giving any incisions/cuts, stitches or scarring. The positive aspect is that the recovery rate is higher and the patient generally gets discharged after one-two hour after completing of the procedure.
