The Internet is full of questions about how to have an abortion at home. For now, it is so simple - took a pill and wait, when there will be a miscarriage. So why gynecologists provide such tablets only themselves, but women do not allow? Perhaps here there are material interests?

What is an abortion at home

Nature has arranged the female body so that to get rid of pregnancy, it can only risking their own lives. That is why all abortions are made at home (regardless of the method), referred to as criminal, that is illegal. And any illegal act entails punishment for the one who did it (not for women, and for the one who helped her).

Previously, when abortions were officially banned from illegal abortions were dying as women, in the end, the government was forced to allow them to carry out in medical institutions. But no one has ever denied that medical abortion provide a variety of complications, sometimes very heavy.

Why today, when an abortion in a medical facility poses no problems, there is a question about abortion at home? The answer is simple: because of the complete lack of understanding the subject matter. Yes, abortion, especially pelleted, make very simple. But no self-respecting gynecologist would not make such an abortion without prior examination of the woman and without ultrasound monitoring, because unlike his patients, he knows what can threaten the apparent simplicity of this procedure.

What can threaten

Complications can arise after any type of abortion, but rather in a medical institution to handle them quickly, while at home they can be fatal.

The most serious complications of abortion are uterine bleeding Uterine bleeding outside of menstruation - a sign of a serious breach Which may occur after any kind of abortion, including after pelletized. How severe bleeding will have this or that women can not be predicted in advance, so if the abortion is carried out pelleted and the woman go home, she was given clear instructions, in which cases it should immediately call an ambulance.

No less serious complication is infection of the home abortion. This infection can get into a bleeding uterus, both outside and inside, for example, if this woman has some inflammation in the area of ​​female genital mutilation. That is why a woman before any abortion is required to examine. Infection after the abortion at home can take place very quickly and seriously. Willy-nilly will have to seek medical care, only the consequences of such infections will be disastrous for women: most likely she would never have children.

Moreover, even after successfully completed the abortion, always begins exacerbation of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, even those that were previously asymptomatic, they definitely need to treat.

Often when there is an incomplete abortion tablet removal of the ovum. If such an abortion is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist and ultrasound, there is nothing terrible happens, just appointed additional drugs that reduce the uterus. If this does not work, then spend scraping Scraping - heavy and unsafe procedure   the uterine cavity. At home, the woman may continue to bleed for a long time, leading to iron deficiency anemia, or suddenly start to bleed heavily, requiring immediate assistance. Remaining in the uterus tissue ovum will be a source of infection and inflammatory diseases endless.

Sometimes home is instrumental abortion (curettage). Today, these abortions are rare, nevertheless, they do occur. And the worst complication of them is a violation of the integrity of the uterine wall (perforation), damage to the instrument of large vessels, intestines, bladder and other pelvic organs. All this leads to serious complications, including to peritonitis (inflammation of the peritoneum - the thin membrane lining the inside of the abdominal cavity) and to the death of a woman. Of course, such perforation is very rare, but do occur in health facilities, but there is not as dangerous as a woman can always be provided with adequate assistance. At home, a woman with a complication is impossible to help.

There are other complications of abortions that occur in a few months and even years after the abortion. This is a different inflammatory diseases of the genital organs, hormonal disorders Hormonal disorders - oversupply and a lack of equally dangerous Against which generated diseases such as endometriosis Endometriosis - a serious problem with serious consequences , Ovarian dysfunction, infertility. The consequences of abortion may occur, and complications during pregnancy and childbirth.

Abortion - is a very difficult operation, and therefore it is not necessary to hold it at home.

In most cases, delivery begins in a natural way, and although it is better to give nature the opportunity to do their own thing, sometimes it is necessary to terminate a pregnancy and to encourage the process of childbirth. Artificial birth - is triggered by childbirth gestation more than twenty weeks. Artificial birth abortion is performed for medical reasons, to prevent the birth of the child and non-viable to save the woman's life, that is, when the risks associated with the preservation of pregnancy outweigh the risks of its termination.

In some cases, cause artificial birth

Artificial birth are shown in the following cases:

• gestation more than forty one week.
• when the water has broken, but contractions do not occur. Most women begin labor within twenty-four hours after my water broke. If this does not happen, there is a risk of infection in the mother or child.
• when there is a threat to the mother's life (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, severe central nervous system disorders and other diseases).
• in the case of severe pre-eclampsia (toxemia in the later stages).
• upon detection of fetal anomalies Fetal development - week after week   or mutations at the gene level.

Sometimes the woman herself asks to provoke her artificial birth for personal reasons, such as fear of complications at a later date, or pregnancy loss (if it has happened before). The decision to artificial birth was adopted on the basis of medical evidence and the individual characteristics of each pregnancy.

Methods of artificial stimulation of birth

To stimulate artificial birth used a variety of methods. It is possible that will have to resort to a number of them to achieve results. The most suitable method of artificial stimulation of birth selected individually under the supervision of a physician.

• Department of membranes
• What it is? Department of membranes often helps to stimulate generic activities and is now widely used for artificial birth for more than forty weeks (if the child is the first).
• What happens? Amniotic (or amniotic) shell - a shell that surrounds the baby in the womb. The doctor or midwife introduces his hand into the cervical canal and gently separates the shell. This procedure can be performed during a routine pelvic exam Gynecological examination: an important component of women's health . When the woman's consent procedure is performed several times, and then move to other methods of artificial stimulation of labor.
• The risks? The procedure can cause discomfort if the cervix is ​​difficult to access. Chances are that it will take to carry out the procedure several times before it becomes clear how effective it is.

The introduction of prostaglandin

• What it is? Prostaglandin - material, the mechanism of action similar to hormones. It speeds up the ripening of the cervix and cause uterine contractions.
• What happens? Vagina administered tablet, suppository or gel prostaglandin to stimulate the maturation of the uterine cervix. If labor does not begin within six hours, the procedure is repeated. Pessaries sustained release prostaglandin operate within twenty-four hours, so a single dose sufficient.
• The risks? Vaginal administration of prostaglandin - most often recommended method of artificial stimulation of labor, because it effectively and has less defects than other methods. The only risk associated with prostaglandin, - over-stimulation of the uterus, can thereby be considerably reduced supply of oxygen to the baby. In this case, the deceleration uterine applied drugs.

Rupture of membranes

• What it is? Rupture of membranes is in violation of the integrity of the amniotic membranes. This method is not recommended for the stimulation of artificial birth (except in cases where vaginal administration of prostaglandin is impossible), but sometimes resort to it to speed up labor.
• What happens? This procedure can be performed during a routine pelvic exam. The midwife or doctor with a special tool (hook or gloves with a pointed tip on one of the fingers) makes a small hole in the amniotic membrane in the membrane around. The procedure is most effective when the cervix softened and relaxed, ready to leave.
• The risks? Ruptured membranes is not always effective, moreover, after the water broke, the child is at increased risk of infection. That is why this method of artificial stimulation of birth is recommended as an auxiliary method. If you suspect a mother's infection are given antibiotics Antibiotics - whether they will help you in the foreseeable future? .
